in_ring

Routine to find the pixel index of all pixels on a slice of a given ring. The output indices can be either in the RING or NESTED scheme, depending on the nest keyword.

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


FORMAT

call in_ring( nside, iz, phi0, dphi, listir, nir, nest )


ARGUMENTS

name & dimensionality kind in/out description
       
nside I4B IN the $N_{\mathrm{side}}$ parameter of the map.
iz I4B IN ring number, counted southwards from the north pole.
phi0 DP IN central $\phi$ position in the slice.
dphi DP IN defines the size of the slice. The slice has length $2\times dphi$ along the ring with center at $phi0$.
listir(0:4*nside-1) I4B/ I8B OUT The pixel indexes in the slice.
nir I4B OUT the number of pixels in the slice. nir $\le 4N_{\mathrm{side}}$
nest (OPTIONAL) I4B IN The pixel indexes are in the NESTED numbering scheme if nest=1, and in RING scheme otherwise.


EXAMPLE:

call in_ring(256, 10, 0, 0.1, listir, nir, nest=1)
Returns the NESTED pixel index of all pixels within 0.1 radians on each side of $\phi=0$ on the 10th ring.
