Abstract


   CSPICE_WNCOMD determines the complement of a double
   precision window with respect to a specified interval.

I/O


   Given:

      left,
      right    the scalar, double precision left and right endpoints of the
               complement interval.

               help, left
                  DOUBLE = Scalar
               help, right
                  DOUBLE = Scalar

      window   the scalar window to be complemented.

               help, window
                  STRUCT = cspice_celld(2*N)

               `window' must be created as a window structure via a
               cspice_celld call.

   the call:

      cspice_wncomd, left, right, window, result

   returns:

      result   the scalar output window, containing the complement of `window'
               with respect to the interval from `left' to `right'.

               help, result
                  STRUCT = cspice_celld(2*N)

               If `result' is not large enough to contain the result, as many
               intervals as will fit are returned.

               The user must create `result' using cspice_celld.

               `result' must be distinct from `window'.

Parameters


   None.

Examples


   Any numerical results shown for this example may differ between
   platforms as the results depend on the SPICE kernels used as input
   and the machine specific arithmetic implementation.

   1) Given a double precision window, containing the following three
      intervals:

         [ 1.0, 3.0 ], [ 7.0, 11.0 ], [ 23.0, 27.0 ]

      compute its complement with respect to the intervals [2.0, 20.0]
      and [0.0, 100.0].


      Example code begins here.


      PRO wncomd_ex1

         ;;
         ;; Create two cells each containing a double
         ;; precision 8-vector.
         ;;
         win1 = cspice_celld( 8 )
         win2 = cspice_celld( 8 )

         ;;
         ;; Define a window with three intervals.
         ;;
         darray = [ [ 1.d, 3.0], [ 7.0, 11.0], [23.0, 27.0] ]

         ;;
         ;; Add the window data to the cell.
         ;;
         for i=0,2 do begin

            cspice_wninsd, darray[0,i], darray[1,i], win1

         endfor

         ;;
         ;; Do the complement with respect to [2.0, 20.0]
         ;;
         left  = 2.d
         right = 20.d
         cspice_wncomd, left, right, win1, win2

         ;;
         ;; Calculate the number of intervals in the
         ;; return window 'win2'.
         ;;
         no_intervals = cspice_wncard(win2)

         ;;
         ;; Output the intervals.
         ;;
         print, 'Complement window with respect to [2.0, 20.0]'
         for i= 0, (no_intervals -1 ) do begin

            cspice_wnfetd, win2, i, left, right
            print, left, right

         endfor

         ;;
         ;; Do the complement with respect to [0.0, 100.0]
         ;;
         cspice_wncomd, 0.d, 100.d, win1, win2
         print
         print, 'Complement window with respect to [0.0, 100.0]'
         for i= 0, (cspice_wncard(win2) -1 ) do begin

            cspice_wnfetd, win2, i, left, right
            print, left, right

         endfor


      END


      When this program was executed on a Mac/Intel/IDL8.x/64-bit
      platform, the output was:


      Complement window with respect to [2.0, 20.0]
             3.0000000       7.0000000
             11.000000       20.000000

      Complement window with respect to [0.0, 100.0]
             0.0000000       1.0000000
             3.0000000       7.0000000
             11.000000       23.000000
             27.000000       100.00000


Particulars


   The user must create any needed window structures with
   cspice_celld prior to use regardless of whether the routine
   uses the window as input or returns it as output.

   Mathematically, the complement of a window contains those
   points that are not contained in the window. That is, the
   complement of the set of closed intervals

      [ a(0), b(0) ], [ a(1), b(1) ], ..., [ a(n), b(n) ]

   is the set of open intervals

      ( -inf, a(0) ), ( b(0), a(1) ), ..., ( b(n), +inf )

   Because IDL offers no satisfactory representation of
   infinity, we must take the complement with respect to a
   finite interval.

   In addition, IDL offers no satisfactory floating point
   representation of open intervals. Therefore, the complement
   of a floating point window is closure of the set theoretical
   complement. In short, the floating point complement of the
   window

      [ a(0), b(0) ], [ a(1), b(1) ], ..., [ a(n), b(n) ]

   with respect to the interval from left to right is the
   intersection of the windows

      ( -inf, a(0) ), ( b(0), a(1) ), ..., ( b(n), +inf )

   and

      [ left, right ]

   Note that floating point intervals of measure zero (singleton
   intervals) in the original window are replaced by gaps of
   measure zero, which are filled. Thus, complementing a floating
   point window twice does not necessarily yield the original window.

Exceptions


   1)  If `left' is greater than `right', the error SPICE(BADENDPOINTS)
       is signaled by a routine in the call tree of this routine.

   2)  The cardinality of the input `window' must be even. Left
       endpoints of stored intervals must be strictly greater than
       preceding right endpoints. Right endpoints must be greater
       than or equal to corresponding left endpoints. Invalid window
       data are not diagnosed by this routine and may lead to
       unpredictable results.

   3)  If any of the input arguments, `left', `right', `window' or
       `result', is undefined, an error is signaled by the IDL error
       handling system.

   4)  If any of the input arguments, `left', `right', `window' or
       `result', is not of the expected type, or it does not have the
       expected dimensions and size, an error is signaled by the Icy
       interface.
