ajs_plot_radec, x, y [, overplot=overplot] [, xrange=xrange] [, yrange=yrange] [, xstyle=xstyle] [, ystyle=ystyle] [, _REF_EXTRA=_REF_EXTRA]

Plot ra and dec on equal-area plot

Wrapper on plot/oplot, (1) plots sin(y) instead of y, but labelling the axes to show y, (2) chooses appropriate ranges in multiples of 15s, 30s, 45s or 60s (3) reverses the x-axis, unless xrange is specified

/overplot is equivalent to oplot, x, sin(y / !RADEG)

Parameters

x in required

ra, degrees

y in required

dec, degrees

Keywords
