getgal

function getgal(dc, [/quiet])

Get galactic coordinates from a data container.

This returns the galactic longitude and latitude as a 2-element vector (for spectral line data) or array (with dimension of [2, the number of integrations] for continuum data) appropriate for the given data container. The values in the longitude_axis and latitude_axis are used as is the coordinate_mode. If the coordinate_mode is GALACTIC then those values are returned as is.

If the data container's coordinate_mode field is OTHER then the values are returned as is and a warning message is emited. That warning message can be suppressed if /quiet is set.

Returns
vector (spectral line) or array (continuum) holding galactic longitude and latitude, in degrees.
