NAME:
asteval
PURPOSE:
Evaulate an astrometric polynomial function.
DESCRIPTION:
CATEGORY:
Astrometry
CALLING SEQUENCE:
val=asteval,ind,coeff,terms
INPUTS:
x - X - coordinate (scalar or vector)
y - Y - coordinate (scalar or vector)
coeff - Coefficients of the transformation, this must be a vector that has
the terms to be used, the length must be equal to total(terms)
terms - Which terms are to be used
This must be a 10 element vector, a 1 means use the term, 0 means don't
0 - const (always use this)
1 - x (always use this)
2 - y (always use this)
3 - r
4 - x^2
5 - y^2
6 - x^3
7 - y^3
8 - xy^2
9 - yx^2
OPTIONAL INPUT PARAMETERS:

OUTPUTS:
return value - Dependent value(s), if x,y was 1-d then this will be scalar.
