Abstract
The AST library provides a comprehensive range of facilities for
attaching world coordinate systems to astronomical data, for
retrieving and interpreting that information in a variety of formats,
including FITS-WCS, and for generating graphical output based on it.
This programmer's manual should be of interest to anyone writing
astronomical applications which need to manipulate coordinate system
data, especially celestial or spectral coordinate systems. AST is portable and
environment-independent.
