=head1 METHODS
=head2 Constructor
=over 4
=item B<new>
Create a new instance from a hash of options
$q = new Astro::Catalog::Query( Coords => new Astro::Coords(),
Radius => $radius,
Bright => $magbright,
Faint => $magfaint,
Sort => $sort_type,
Number => $number_out );
returns a reference to an query object. Must only called from
sub-classed constructors.
RA and Dec are also allowed but are deprecated (since with only
RA/Dec the coordinates must always be supplied as J2000 space-separated
sexagesimal format).
=cut
sub new {
my $proto = shift;
my $class = ref($proto) || $proto;
# bless the query hash into the class
my $block = bless { OPTIONS => {},
BUFFER => undef }, $class;
# Configure the object [even if there are no args]
$block->configure( @_ );
return $block;
}

=head2 Accessor Methods
=over 4
=item B<query_options>
Hash representing the query options to be used to query the catalog
server. This keys in this hash are restricted by the subclass. Some
keys are not usable by all catalogues.
Returns a copy of the options hash when.
%options = $q->query_options();
Note that the hash keys included here are not necessarily the keys
used to form a remote query.
If an argument is supplied, the value for that option is returned
I<if> the option is supported.
$ra = $q->query_options( "ra" );
Values can not be set directly. Please use the provided accessor methods.

warnings::warnif("Option $opt not supported by this cataloge");
return;
}
return $self->{OPTIONS}->{$opt};
}
return %{ $self->{OPTIONS} };
}
=item B<RA>
Return (or set) the current target R.A. defined for the query
$ra = $usno->ra();
$usno->ra( $ra );
where $ra should be a string of the form "HH MM SS.SS", e.g. 21 42 42.66
=cut
sub ra {
my $self = shift;
# SETTING R.A.
if (@_) {
# grab the new R.A.
my $ra = shift;
$self->_set_query_options( ra => $ra );
}
# Return it
return $self->query_options("ra");
}
=item B<Dec>
Return (or set) the current target Declination defined for the query
$dec = $q->dec();
$q->dec( $dec );
where $dec should be a string of the form "+-HH MM SS.SS", e.g. +43 35 09.5
or -40 25 67.89
=cut
sub dec {
my $self = shift;
# SETTING DEC
if (@_) {
# grab the new Dec
my $dec = shift;
$self->_set_query_options( dec => $dec );
}
return $self->query_options("dec");
}
=item B<Target>
Instead of querying by R.A. and Dec., you may also query it
by object name. Return (or set) the current target object defined for
the USNO-A2.0 query, will query SIMBAD for object name resolution.
$ident = $usno->target();
$usno->target( "HT Cas" );
using an object name will override the current R.A. and Dec settings for the
Query object (if currently set) and the next querydb() method call will query
using this identifier rather than any currently set co-ordinates.
=cut
sub target {
my $self = shift;
# SETTING IDENTIFIER
if (@_) {
# grab the new object name
my $ident = shift;
# Need to clear RA and Dec iff they are allowed options
my %allow = $self->_get_allowed_options();

$clear{dec} = undef if exists $allow{dec};
# Store it in the options table
$self->_set_query_options(
object => $ident,
%clear
);
}
return $self->query_options("object");
}
=item B<Radius>
The radius to be searched for objects around the target R.A. and Dec in
arc minutes, the radius defaults to 5 arc minutes.
$radius = $query->radius();
$query->radius( 20 );
=cut
sub radius {
my $self = shift;
if (@_) {
$self->_set_query_options( radmax => shift );
}
return $self->query_options("radmax");
}
=item B<Faint>
Set (or query) the faint magnitude limit for inclusion on the results
$faint = $query->faint();
$query->faint( 50 );
=cut
sub faint {
my $self = shift;
if (@_) {
$self->_set_query_options( magfaint => shift );

Set (or query) the bright magnitude limit for inclusion on the results
$faint = $query->bright();
$query->bright( 2 );
=cut
sub bright {
my $self = shift;
if (@_) {
$self->_set_query_options( magbright => shift );
}
return $self->query_options("magbright");
}
=item B<Sort>
Set or query the order in which the stars are listed in the catalogue
$sort = $query->sort();
$query->sort( 'RA' );
valid options are RA, DEC, RMAG, BMAG, DIST (distance to centre of the
requested field) and POS (the position angle to the centre of the field).
=cut
sub sort {
my $self = shift;
if (@_) {
my $sort = shift;
$self->_set_query_options( sort => $sort );
}
# return the sort option
return $self->query_options("sort");
}
=item B<Number>
The number of objects to return, defaults to 2000 which should hopefully
be sufficent to return all objects of interest. This value should be increased
if a (very) large sample radius is requested.
$num = $query->number();
$query->nout( 100 );

=begin __PRIVATE_METHODS__
=head2 Private methods
These methods are for internal use only.
=over 4
=item B<_set_query_options>
Set the query options.
$q->_set_query_options( %newopt );
Keys are standardised and are not necessarily those used
in the query. A warning is issued if an attempt is made to
set an option for an option that is not used by the particular
subclass.
=cut
sub _set_query_options {
my $self = shift;
my %newopt = @_;
my %allow = $self->_get_allowed_options();
for my $newkey (keys %newopt) {
if (!exists $allow{$newkey}) {
warnings::warnif("Option $newkey not supported by catalog ".
ref($self)."\n");
next;
}
# set the option
$self->{OPTIONS}->{$newkey} = $newopt{$newkey};
}
return;
}
=item B<_get_allowed_options>
Return a hash with keys corresponding to the internal options
supported by the query, and values corresponding to the names
used by the specific query sub-system. Can use the keys
to work out whether an option is supported.
%allow = $q->_get_allowed_options();
Generally, must be over-ridden in subclass. By default returns all
the internal options, with 1-1 mapping.
=cut
sub _get_allowed_options {
return (
ra => 'ra',
dec => 'dec',
object => 'object',
radmax => 'radmax',
radmin => 'radmin',
width => 'width',
height => 'height',
magbright => 'magbright',
magfaint => 'magfaint',
sort => 'sort',
nout => 'nout',
);
}
=item B<_get_supported_accessor_options>
Returns a hash with keys corresponding to accessor methods
and values corresponding to the internal option.
%opt = $q->_get_supported_accessor_options();
This method should be superfluous if the methods had been named
correctly!
Should support object init either via options or methods. This does not cover all
options. In configure, if there is an option available but no corresponding mapping
then we will just set the option directly.
=cut
sub _get_supported_accessor_options {
return (
ra => 'ra',
dec => 'dec',
faint => 'magfaint',
bright => 'magbright',
radius => 'radmax',
target => 'object',
sort => 'sort',
number => 'nout',
format => 'format',
);
}
=item B<_get_default_options>
Retrieve the defaults options for this particular catalog query.
Usually called by C<_set_default_options> during object configure.
%defs = $q->_get_default_options();
=cut
sub _get_default_options {
croak "get_default_options must be subclassed";
}
=item B<_set_default_options>
Each catalogue requires different default settings for the
URL parameters. They should be specified in a subclass.
=cut
sub _set_default_options {
my $self = shift;
# get the defaults
my %defaults = $self->_get_default_options();
# set them
$self->_set_query_options( %defaults );
return;
}
=item B<_dump_raw>
Private function for debugging and other testing purposes. It will return
the raw output of the last query made using querydb().
@lines = $q->_dump_raw();
=cut
sub _dump_raw {
my $self = shift;
# split the BUFFER into an array
my @portable = split( /\n/,$self->{BUFFER});
chomp @portable;
return @portable;
}
=item B<_set_raw>
Private function to fill the current buffer with a string. This is used
when deealing with the buffer cannot be encapsulated inside a Transport
class and must be deal with by child classese.
$q->_set_raw( $buffer );
=cut
sub _set_raw {
my $self = shift;
$self->{BUFFER} = shift;

=item B<_dump_options>
Private function for debugging and other testing purposes. It will return
the current query options as a hash.

Stub. Needs to be subclassed.

sub _parse_query {
croak "Query parsing is not generic. Please write one\n";
}
=back
=head2 Translation Methods
The query options stored internally in the object are not necessarily
the form required for a query to a remote server. Methods for converting
from the internal representation to the external query format are
provided in the form of _from_$opt. ie:
($outkey, $outvalue) = $q->_from_ra();
($outkey, $outvalue) = $q->_from_object();
Items that have a one-to-one mapping can be declared by the query
subclass using the C<_translate_one_to_one> method which returns
a list of options that support the simplest mapping. If an explicit
method exists it is always used.
If an option has no translation method and is not declared as
a one-to-one mapping, the translator will assume one-to-one but
issue a warning.
=item B<_translate_options>
Translates the options from the default interface into the internal
options specific for the sub-class
%options = _translate_options( );
The keys and values therefore are no longer general.
=cut
sub _translate_options {
my $self = shift;
my %outhash;
my %allow = $self->_get_allowed_options();
my %one_one = $self->_translate_one_to_one();

# Need to translate them...
my $cvtmethod = "_from_" . $key;
my ($outkey, $outvalue);
if ($self->can($cvtmethod)) {
($outkey, $outvalue) = $self->$cvtmethod();
} else {
# This is the one-to-one mapping section
# issue a warning if the method has not been declared
# as supporting that simply mapping
warnings::warnif("Unable to find translation for key $key. Assuming 1 to 1 mapping.\n")
unless exists $one_one{$key};
# Translate the key and copy the value
$outkey = $allow{$key};
$outvalue = $self->query_options($key);
}
$outhash{$outkey} = $outvalue;
}
return %outhash;
}
=item B<_translate_one_to_one>
Returns (hash) indicating which of the standard options support
a one-to-one mapping when forming a URL (etc).
=cut
sub _translate_one_to_one {
# convert to a hash-list
return map { $_, undef }(qw/
