CONSTELL
[ASTRO\]CONSTELL [/DRAW [m] [l] [s]] [/NAME] [/BOUNDARIES]
Plots in the current FRAME with the current FONT, MARKER and PEN, the
constellations, i.e., the main stars of all the constellations with a
marker size adequately depending on the magnitude. The options are:
/DRAW [m] [l] [s]
"m" will cause markers at the star's positions to be plotted
"l" will cause the constellations outlines to be plotted
"s" will cause the star's names to be plotted (using current centering and
character size)
/NAME will draw the constellation's names
/BOUNDARIES will draw the constellation boundaries (originally constant RA
and DEC at 1875 epoch, they are precessed to the current epoch.
The current code is VERY slow. Use with caution.
This command makes use of the logical name GAG_CONSTELL which points to
a GILDAS Table containing the stars positions and drawing codes, and
GAG_CONST_BOUND which defines the constellation boundaries.
