*class++
*  Name:
*     SelectorMap

*  Purpose:
*     A Mapping that locates positions within one of a set of alternate
*     Regions.

*  Constructor Function:
c     astSelectorMap
f     AST_SELECTORMAP

*  Description:
*     A SelectorMap is a Mapping that identifies which Region contains
*     a given input position.
*
*     A SelectorMap encapsulates a number of Regions that all have the same
*     number of axes and represent the same coordinate Frame. The number of
*     inputs (Nin attribute) of the SelectorMap equals the number of axes
*     spanned by one of the encapsulated Region. All SelectorMaps have only
*     a single output. SelectorMaps do not define an inverse transformation.
*
*     For each input position, the forward transformation of a SelectorMap
*     searches through the encapsulated Regions (in the order supplied when
*     the SelectorMap was created) until a Region is found which contains
*     the input position. The index associated with this Region is
*     returned as the SelectorMap output value (the index value is the
*     position of the Region within the list of Regions supplied when the
*     SelectorMap was created, starting at 1 for the first Region). If an
*     input position is not contained within any Region, a value of zero is
*     returned by the forward transformation.
*
*     If a compound Mapping contains a SelectorMap in series with its own
*     inverse, the combination of the two adjacent SelectorMaps will be
*     replaced by a UnitMap when the compound Mapping is simplified using
c     astSimplify.
f     AST_SIMPLIFY.
*
*     In practice, SelectorMaps are often used in conjunction with SwitchMaps.

*  Inheritance:
*     The SelectorMap class inherits from the Mapping class.

*  Attributes:
*     The SelectorMap class does not define any new attributes beyond those
*     which are applicable to all Mappings.

*  Functions:
c     The SelectorMap class does not define any new functions beyond those
f     The SelectorMap class does not define any new routines beyond those
*     which are applicable to all Mappings.

/*
*  Name:
*     MapMerge

*  Purpose:
*     Simplify a sequence of Mappings containing a SelectorMap.

*  Type:
*     Private function.

*  Synopsis:
*     #include "mapping.h"
*     int MapMerge( AstMapping *this, int where, int series, int *nmap,
*                   AstMapping ***map_list, int **invert_list, int *status )

*  Class Membership:
*     SelectorMap method (over-rides the protected astMapMerge method
*     inherited from the Mapping class).

*  Description:
*     This function attempts to simplify a sequence of Mappings by
*     merging a nominated SelectorMap in the sequence with its neighbours,
*     so as to shorten the sequence if possible.
*
*     In many cases, simplification will not be possible and the
*     function will return -1 to indicate this, without further
*     action.
*
*     In most cases of interest, however, this function will either
*     attempt to replace the nominated SelectorMap with one which it
*     considers simpler, or to merge it with the Mappings which
*     immediately precede it or follow it in the sequence (both will
*     normally be considered). This is sufficient to ensure the
*     eventual simplification of most Mapping sequences by repeated
*     application of this function.
*
*     In some cases, the function may attempt more elaborate
*     simplification, involving any number of other Mappings in the
*     sequence. It is not restricted in the type or scope of
*     simplification it may perform, but will normally only attempt
*     elaborate simplification in cases where a more straightforward
*     approach is not adequate.

*  Parameters:
*     this
*        Pointer to the nominated SelectorMap which is to be merged with
*        its neighbours. This should be a cloned copy of the SelectorMap
*        pointer contained in the array element "(*map_list)[where]"
*        (see below). This pointer will not be annulled, and the
*        SelectorMap it identifies will not be modified by this function.
*     where
*        Index in the "*map_list" array (below) at which the pointer
*        to the nominated SelectorMap resides.
*     series
*        A non-zero value indicates that the sequence of Mappings to
*        be simplified will be applied in series (i.e. one after the
*        other), whereas a zero value indicates that they will be
*        applied in parallel (i.e. on successive sub-sets of the
*        input/output coordinates).
*     nmap
*        Address of an int which counts the number of Mappings in the
*        sequence. On entry this should be set to the initial number
*        of Mappings. On exit it will be updated to record the number
*        of Mappings remaining after simplification.
*     map_list
*        Address of a pointer to a dynamically allocated array of
*        Mapping pointers (produced, for example, by the astMapList
*        method) which identifies the sequence of Mappings. On entry,
*        the initial sequence of Mappings to be simplified should be
*        supplied.
*
*        On exit, the contents of this array will be modified to
*        reflect any simplification carried out. Any form of
*        simplification may be performed. This may involve any of: (a)
*        removing Mappings by annulling any of the pointers supplied,
*        (b) replacing them with pointers to new Mappings, (c)
*        inserting additional Mappings and (d) changing their order.
*
*        The intention is to reduce the number of Mappings in the
*        sequence, if possible, and any reduction will be reflected in
*        the value of "*nmap" returned. However, simplifications which
*        do not reduce the length of the sequence (but improve its
*        execution time, for example) may also be performed, and the
*        sequence might conceivably increase in length (but normally
*        only in order to split up a Mapping into pieces that can be
*        more easily merged with their neighbours on subsequent
*        invocations of this function).
*
*        If Mappings are removed from the sequence, any gaps that
*        remain will be closed up, by moving subsequent Mapping
*        pointers along in the array, so that vacated elements occur
*        at the end. If the sequence increases in length, the array
*        will be extended (and its pointer updated) if necessary to
*        accommodate any new elements.
*
*        Note that any (or all) of the Mapping pointers supplied in
*        this array may be annulled by this function, but the Mappings
*        to which they refer are not modified in any way (although
*        they may, of course, be deleted if the annulled pointer is
*        the final one).
*     invert_list
*        Address of a pointer to a dynamically allocated array which,
*        on entry, should contain values to be assigned to the Invert
*        attributes of the Mappings identified in the "*map_list"
*        array before they are applied (this array might have been
*        produced, for example, by the astMapList method). These
*        values will be used by this function instead of the actual
*        Invert attributes of the Mappings supplied, which are
*        ignored.
*
*        On exit, the contents of this array will be updated to
*        correspond with the possibly modified contents of the
*        "*map_list" array.  If the Mapping sequence increases in
*        length, the "*invert_list" array will be extended (and its
*        pointer updated) if necessary to accommodate any new
*        elements.
*     status
*        Pointer to the inherited status variable.

*  Returned Value:
*     If simplification was possible, the function returns the index
*     in the "map_list" array of the first element which was
*     modified. Otherwise, it returns -1 (and makes no changes to the
*     arrays supplied).

*  Notes:
*     - A value of -1 will be returned if this function is invoked
*     with the global error status set, or if it should fail for any
*     reason.

*  Name:
*     Transform

*  Purpose:
*     Apply a SelectorMap to transform a set of points.

*  Type:
*     Private function.

*  Synopsis:
*     #include "selectormap.h"
*     AstPointSet *Transform( AstMapping *this, AstPointSet *in,
*                             int forward, AstPointSet *out, int *status )

*  Class Membership:
*     SelectorMap member function (over-rides the astTransform method inherited
*     from the Mapping class).

*  Description:
*     This function takes a SelectorMap and a set of points encapsulated in a
*     PointSet and transforms the points so as to apply the required Mapping.
*     This implies applying each of the SelectorMap's component Mappings in turn,
*     either in series or in parallel.

*  Parameters:
*     this
*        Pointer to the SelectorMap.
*     in
*        Pointer to the PointSet associated with the input coordinate values.
*     forward
*        A non-zero value indicates that the forward coordinate transformation
*        should be applied, while a zero value requests the inverse
*        transformation.
*     out
*        Pointer to a PointSet which will hold the transformed (output)
*        coordinate values. A NULL value may also be given, in which case a
*        new PointSet will be created by this function.
*     status
*        Pointer to the inherited status variable.

*  Returned Value:
*     Pointer to the output (possibly new) PointSet.

*  Notes:
*     -  A null pointer will be returned if this function is invoked with the
*     global error status set, or if it should fail for any reason.
*     -  The number of coordinate values per point in the input PointSet must
*     match the number of coordinates for the SelectorMap being applied.
*     -  If an output PointSet is supplied, it must have space for sufficient
*     number of points and coordinate values per point to accommodate the
*     result. Any excess space will be ignored.

*        An array of pointers to the Regions. Deep copies of these

*     - This function implements the basic SelectorMap constructor which is
*     available via the protected interface to the SelectorMap class.  A
*     public interface is provided by the astSelectorMapId_ function.
*     - Because this function has a variable argument list, it is
*     invoked by a macro that evaluates to a function pointer (not a
*     function invocation) and no checking or casting of arguments is
*     performed before the function is invoked. Because of this, the
*     "map1" and "map2" parameters are of type (void *) and are
*     converted and validated within the function itself.

*     A SelectorMap encapsulates a number of Regions that all have the same
*     number of axes and represent the same coordinate Frame. The number of
*     inputs (Nin attribute) of the SelectorMap equals the number of axes
*     spanned by one of the encapsulated Region. All SelectorMaps have only
*     a single output. SelectorMaps do not define an inverse transformation.
*
*     For each input position, the forward transformation of a SelectorMap
*     searches through the encapsulated Regions (in the order supplied when
*     the SelectorMap was created) until a Region is found which contains
*     the input position. The index associated with this Region is
*     returned as the SelectorMap output value (the index value is the
*     position of the Region within the list of Regions supplied when the
*     SelectorMap was created, starting at 1 for the first Region). If an
*     input position is not contained within any Region, a value of zero is
*     returned by the forward transformation.
*
*     If a compound Mapping contains a SelectorMap in series with its own
*     inverse, the combination of the two adjacent SelectorMaps will be
*     replaced by a UnitMap when the compound Mapping is simplified using
c     astSimplify.
f     AST_SIMPLIFY.
*
*     In practice, SelectorMaps are often used in conjunction with SwitchMaps.

*  Parameters:
c     nreg
f     NREG = INTEGER (Given)
*        The number of supplied Regions.
c     regs
f     REGS( NREG ) = INTEGER (Given)
*        An array of pointers to the Regions. All the supplied Regions must
*        relate to the same coordinate Frame. The number of axes in this
*        coordinate Frame defines the number of inputs for the SelectorMap.
c     badval
f     BADVAL = DOUBLE PRECISION (Given)
*        The value to be returned by the forward transformation of the
*        SelectorMap for any input positions that have a bad (AST__BAD)
*        value on any axis.
c     options
f     OPTIONS = CHARACTER * ( * ) (Given)
c        Pointer to a null-terminated string containing an optional
c        comma-separated list of attribute assignments to be used for
c        initialising the new SelectorMap. The syntax used is identical to
c        that for the astSet function and may include "printf" format
c        specifiers identified by "%" symbols in the normal way.
f        A character string containing an optional comma-separated
f        list of attribute assignments to be used for initialising the
f        new SelectorMap. The syntax used is identical to that for the
f        AST_SET routine.
c     ...
c        If the "options" string contains "%" format specifiers, then
c        an optional list of additional arguments may follow it in
c        order to supply values to be substituted for these
c        specifiers. The rules for supplying these are identical to
c        those for the astSet function (and for the C "printf"
c        function).
f     STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)
f        The global status.

*  Returned Value:
c     astSelectorMap()
f     AST_SELECTORMAP = INTEGER
*        A pointer to the new SelectorMap.

*  Notes:
*     - Deep copies are taken of the supplied Regions. This means that
*     any subsequent changes made to the component Regions using the
*     supplied pointers will have no effect on the SelectorMap.
*     - A null Object pointer (AST__NULL) will be returned if this
c     function is invoked with the AST error status set, or if it
f     function is invoked with STATUS set to an error value, or if it
*     should fail for any reason.
*--

*  Implementation Notes:
*     - This function implements the external (public) interface to
*     the astSelectorMap constructor function. It returns an ID value
*     (instead of a true C pointer) to external users, and must be
*     provided because astSelectorMap_ has a variable argument list which
*     cannot be encapsulated in a macro (where this conversion would
*     otherwise occur).
*     - Because no checking or casting of arguments is performed
*     before the function is invoked, the "map1" and "map2" parameters
*     are of type (void *) and are converted from an ID value to a
*     pointer and validated within the function itself.
*     - The variable argument list also prevents this function from
*     invoking astSelectorMap_ directly, so it must be a re-implementation
*     of it in all respects, except for the conversions between IDs
*     and pointers on input/output of Objects.

*  Class Membership:

*  Description:
*     This function is provided for use by class implementations to initialise

*     accommodate the SelectorMap plus any additional data associated with the

*     the memory passed via the "vtab" parameter.

*  Parameters:
*     mem
*        A pointer to the memory in which the SelectorMap is to be initialised.
*        This must be of sufficient size to accommodate the SelectorMap data
*        (sizeof(SelectorMap)) plus any data used by the derived class. If a
*        value of NULL is given, this function will allocate the memory itself
*        using the "size" parameter to determine its size.
*     size
*        The amount of memory used by the SelectorMap (plus derived class
*        data). This will be used to allocate memory if a value of NULL is
*        given for the "mem" parameter. This value is also stored in the
*        SelectorMap structure, so a valid value must be supplied even if not
*        required for allocating memory.
*     init
*        A logical flag indicating if the SelectorMap's virtual function table
*        is to be initialised. If this value is non-zero, the virtual function
*        table will be initialised by this function.

*        Pointer to a constant null-terminated character string which contains
*        the name of the class to which the new object belongs (it is this
*        pointer value that will subsequently be returned by the Object
*        astClass function).
*     nreg

*  Class Membership:

*  Description:
*     This function is provided to load a new SelectorMap using data read
*     from a Channel. It first loads the data used by the parent class
*     (which allocates memory if necessary) and then initialises a
*     SelectorMap structure in this memory, using data read from the input

*
*     If the "init" flag is set, it also initialises the contents of a

*     passed via the "vtab" parameter.


*  Parameters:
*     mem
*        A pointer to the memory into which the SelectorMap is to be
*        loaded.  This must be of sufficient size to accommodate the
*        SelectorMap data (sizeof(SelectorMap)) plus any data used by derived
*        classes. If a value of NULL is given, this function will
*        allocate the memory itself using the "size" parameter to
*        determine its size.
*     size
*        The amount of memory used by the SelectorMap (plus derived class
*        data).  This will be used to allocate memory if a value of
*        NULL is given for the "mem" parameter. This value is also
*        stored in the SelectorMap structure, so a valid value must be
*        supplied even if not required for allocating memory.
*
*        If the "vtab" parameter is NULL, the "size" value is ignored
*        and sizeof(AstSelectorMap) is used instead.
*     vtab
*        Pointer to the start of the virtual function table to be
*        associated with the new SelectorMap. If this is NULL, a pointer to
*        the (static) virtual function table for the SelectorMap class is
*        used instead.
*     name
*        Pointer to a constant null-terminated character string which
*        contains the name of the class to which the new object
*        belongs (it is this pointer value that will subsequently be
*        returned by the astGetClass method).
*
*        If the "vtab" parameter is NULL, the "name" value is ignored
*        and a pointer to the string "SelectorMap" is used instead.

*  Returned Value:
*     A pointer to the new SelectorMap.
