=head1 DESCRIPTION

This class is used by C<Astro::Coords> for handling coordinates
for moving sources specified as two coordinates at two epochs.

=item B<new>

Instantiate a new object using the supplied options.

  $c = new Astro::Coords::Interpolated( ra1 => '05:22:56',
					dec1 => '-26:20:44.4',
					mjd1 => 52440.5,
					ra2 => '05:23:56',
					dec2 => '-26:20:50.4',
					mjd2 => 52441.5,
					units =>
				      );

Returns undef on error. The positions are assumed to be apparent
RA/Dec for the telescope location. Units are optional (see
C<Astro::Coords::Equatorial>).

=head1 General Methods

=over 4

=item B<array>

Return back 11 element array with first element containing the
string "INTERP", the next ten elements as undef.

This method returns a standardised set of elements across all
types of coordinates.

The original design did not contain this type of coordinate specification
and so the array returned can not yet include it. Needs more work to integrate
into the other coordinate systems.

=cut

sub array {
  my $self = shift;
  return ( $self->type, undef, undef,
	   undef,undef,undef,undef,undef,undef,undef,undef);
}

=item B<type>

Returns the generic type associated with the coordinate system.
For this class the answer is always "INTERP".

This is used to aid construction of summary tables when using
mixed coordinates.

It could be done using isa relationships.

=cut

sub type {
  return "INTERP";
}

=item B<stringify>

Stringify overload. Just returns the type.

=cut

sub stringify {
  my $self = shift;
  return $self->type;
}

=item B<summary>

Return a one line summary of the coordinates.
In the future will accept arguments to control output.

  $summary = $c->summary();

=cut

sub summary {
  my $self = shift;
  my $name = $self->name;
  $name = '' unless defined $name;
  return sprintf("%-16s  %-12s  %-13s INTERP",$name,'','');
}

=item B<apparent>

Return the apparent RA and Dec (as two C<Astro::Coords::Angle> objects) for the current
coordinates and time.

  ($ra,$dec) = $c->apparent();

Apparent RA/Dec is obtained by linear interpolation from the reference
positions. If the requested time lies outside the reference times
the position will be extrapolated.

=cut

sub apparent {
  my $self = shift;

  my $mjd1 = $self->mjd1;
  my $mjd2 = $self->mjd2;

  my ($ra_app, $dec_app);

  if ($mjd1 == $mjd2) {
    # special case when times are identical

    $ra_app = $self->{ra1};
    $dec_app = $self->{dec1};
  }
  else {
    # else linear interpolation

    my $mjd = $self->datetime->mjd;
    my $ra1  = $self->ra1->radians;
    my $ra2  = $self->ra2->radians;
    my $dec1 = $self->dec1->radians;
    my $dec2 = $self->dec2->radians;

    $ra_app = $ra1  + ( $ra2  - $ra1  ) * ( $mjd - $mjd1 ) / ( $mjd2 - $mjd1 );
    $dec_app = $dec1 + ( $dec2 - $dec1 ) * ( $mjd - $mjd1 ) / ( $mjd2 - $mjd1 );
  }

  $ra_app = new Astro::Coords::Angle::Hour($ra_app, units => 'rad', range => '2PI');
  $dec_app = new Astro::Coords::Angle($dec_app, units => 'rad');

  $self->_cache_write( "RA_APP" => $ra_app, "DEC_APP" => $dec_app );

  return ($ra_app, $dec_app);
}

=item B<apply_offset>

Overrided method to warn if C<Astro::Coords::apply_offset> is
called on this subclass.

=cut

sub apply_offset {
  my $self = shift;
  warn "apply_offset: applying offset to interpolated position for a specific time.\n";
  return $self->SUPER::apply_offset(@_);
}

=back

=head1 NOTES

Usually called via C<Astro::Coords>. This is the coordinate style
used by SCUBA for non-sidereal sources instead of using orbital elements.

Apparent RA/Decs suitable for use in this class can be obtained
from http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/.
