s2chromapts

Plot points on a sphere using chromastereoscopic colouring for depth

Prototype

void s2chromapts(int n, float *ilong, float *lat, float *dist, float *size, float radius, float dmin, float dmax);

Description

Plot points on a sphere of given radius, at given longitude ilong and latitude ilat (in degrees), coloured by the current colormap. Array dist gives the distance to each point. Index into map is calculated linearly between dmin and dmax. This function is so called because with the right colormap, a chromastereoscopic view will be produced for observing from the origin of the coordinate system - especially useful when using a fisheye projection. Array size contains the desired sizes of the points.
