Section14: Section 14: House position calculations

Description

Calculate house position of a given body.

Usage

swe_house_pos(armc, geolat, eps, hsys, xpin)
swe_gauquelin_sector(jd_ut, ipl, starname, ephe_flag, imeth, geopos,
  atpress, attemp)

Value

swe_house_pos returns a list with named entries: return how far from body's cusp as double, and serr error message as string.

swe_gauquelin_sector returns a list with named entries: return status flag as integer,

dgsect for Gauquelin sector as double and serr error message as string
