68%% Product Overview
69% MEALPix is a native Matlab implementation of a substantial subset of the
70% <http://healpix.jpl.nasa.gov/ HEALPix> subroutine library. It supports
71% the fast and accurate statistical and astrophysical analysis of massive
72% full-sky data sets. HEALPix is supported by NASA and ESO, used
73% extensively by the WMAP and PLANCK missions, and is part of the official
74% FITS World Coordinate System.
75%
76% MEALPix provides fully vectorized functions for
77%
78% * Conversion between position angles, cartesian direction vectors, and
79% HEALPix ring and nest pixel indexing schemes;
80%
81% * Spherical harmonic resolution and analysis of functions on the sphere;
82%
83% * Nearest pixel identification (pixels within a given disc, pixels in a
84% ring, pixels in a HEALPix face).
85%
86% MEALPix was created from the Fortran90 implementation
87% <http://healpix.jpl.nasa.gov HEALPix> via a combination of hand coding
88% and machine assisted conversion of the HEALPix F90 source code. Some
89% routines were hand-coded based on the documented functionality of the F90
90% subroutines on which they were based. Other routines were hand-coded via
91% inspection of the HEALPix F90 implementation source. Still other routines
92% were machine converted from F90 to Matlab(TM) using
93% <http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/5260 f2matlab>. In
94% this latter case the resulting Matlab(TM) source was then hand-modified
95% to vectorize the computations and take advantage of Matlab(TM) data types
96% and other functions.
