Class SourceCoordinates

java.lang.Object
skyview.request.SourceCoordinates
All Implemented Interfaces:
Runnable

public class SourceCoordinates extends Object implements Runnable
Converts user input to coordinates and returns a position object that can be used to get a position in any coordinate system. The class attempts to handle most coordinate strings locally, but object name requests are sent to the HEASARC Object name resolver. Some more exotic coordinate strings may also be handled there.
