Name

cproj, cprojf, cprojl - project into Riemann Sphere

Library

Math library ( libm ", " -lm )

Synopsis

#include <complex.h> 
double complex cproj(double complex " z ");
float complex cprojf(float complex " z ");
long double complex cprojl(long double complex " z ");

Description

These functions project a point in the plane onto the surface of a Riemann Sphere, the one-point compactification of the complex plane. Each finite point z projects to z itself. Every complex infinite value is projected to a single infinite value, namely to positive infinity on the real axis.

History

glibc 2.1. C99, POSIX.1-2001.

In glibc 2.11 and earlier, the implementation does something different (a stereographic projection onto a Riemann Sphere).
