Scientific Data Formats: HDF-EOS

EOS_EH_CONVANG

This function converts angles between three units: decimal degrees, radians, and packed degrees-minutes-seconds. In the degrees-minutes-seconds unit, an angle is expressed as an integral number of degrees and minutes and a float point value of seconds packed as a single double as follows: DDDMMMSSS.SS.

Syntax

Result = EOS_EH_CONVANG(inAngle, code)

Return Value

Returns angle in desired units.

Arguments

inAngle

Input angle (float).

code

Conversion code (long). Allowable values are:

0 = Radians to Degrees

1 = Degrees to Radians

2 = DMS to Degrees

3 = Degrees to DMS

4 = Radians to DMS

5 = DMS to Radians

Keywords

None

Examples

To convert 27.5 degrees to packed format:

inAng = 27.5  
outAng = EOS_EH_CONVANG(inAng, 3)

outAng will contain the value 27030000.00.
