ProjP(i) - FITS-WCS projection parameters   

Description:
This attribute provides aliases for the PV attributes, which specifies the projection parameter values to be used by a WcsMap when implementing a FITS-WCS sky projection. ProjP is retained for compatibility with previous versions of FITS-WCS and AST. New applications should use the PV attibute instead.

Attributes ProjP(0) to ProjP(9) correspond to attributes PV<axlat>_0 to PV<axlat>_9, where <axlat> is replaced by the index of the latitude axis (given by attribute WcsAxis(2)). See PV for further details.

Type:
Floating point.

Class Applicability:
WcsMap
All WcsMaps have this attribute.
