/** @FILE
    Code reproduced with minor cosmetic changes from:
    R Grena (2008), An algorithm for the computation of the solar position,
    Solar Energy (82), pp 462-470.

    This header file contains the declaration of a class which includes all the
    input and output data, and the function that performs the calculation.

    To calculate the sun position, follow these steps:

    1. include this file.
    2. declare a variable of type SunCoord.
    3. Initialise the variable given the 9 input quantities required.
       This can be done in the declaration, listing the quantities between
       commas, or calling the function SetCoord(). In both cases, only the first
       four quantities are required; the others default to standard values
       (pressure = 1 atm, T = 20 ��C, 0 for all the other quantities) if omitted.
       Longitude and latitude must be given in RADIANS, pressure in ATM,
       temperature in ��C.
       Day, Month and Year are integer, UT in decimal hour from 0 to 24 (e.g.
       3:30 pm becomes 15.5).
    4. Call the Calculate() method of the SunCoord object.

    Example:
    (see the original publication)

    Warning: in order to improve accessibility and efficiency, there is not
    access control in the class. The user is free to directly access and
    modify all the data and there is not any control of consistency. Some
    caution in the use of the class is advisable.
