The units are standard units of the X and Y axes (e.g degrees, m/sec, Hz, sec, etc.) except that right ascensions are in hours of time. It is normal in print to represent a declination between -1 and 0 degrees as -0d mm ss.s. But if you type, e.g. COORDINA = 14, 8, 23.3, -0, 14, 23 you will get a positive declination because there is no difference numerically between -0 and +0. You need to type COORDINA = 14, 8, 23.3, -0, -14, 23 to get the desired negative coordinate. BE VERY CAREFUL when you type negative coordinates to use commas to separate the values. Otherwise the minus sign becomes a subtraction sign and you do not get the desired values in the adverb. Null value: None, 0 means 0. Verbs: CODECIML....Convert between decimal and sexagesimal coordinate values COODEFIN....Define or modify an image axis coordinate description COPIXEL.....Convert between physical and pixel coordinate values COSTAR......Plot a symbol on the TV at the specified coordinate.
