vect_prod

Returns the vectorial product of two vectors.

Location in HEALPix directory tree: src/f90/mod/pix_tools.F90 

FORMAT

call vect_prod( v1, v2, v3 )

ARGUMENTS

name & dimensionality	kind	in/out	description
v1(3)	DP	IN	cartesian vector ${\bf v}_1$.
v2(3)	DP	IN	cartesian vector ${\bf v}_2$.
v3(3)	DP	OUT	cartesian vector ${\bf v}_3 = {\bf v}_1 \times {\bf v}_2$

EXAMPLE:

use healpix_types
use pix_tools, only : vect_prod
real(DP), dimension(3) :: vec
real(DP) :: one = 1.0_dp
call vect_prod((/2,0,0/)*one, (/0,1,0/)*one, vec)
print*, vec

will return : 0.00E+000 0.00E+000 2.00
