Successfully merged revisions in trunk in this branch!
We have OpenGL and database compiling and running OK together.

More work on the database coming soon.

Reinitialized svnmerge.py

SVN_SILENT

Temporary commit to commit Kristian Ivanow's documentation of the
observation planner.

Needs quite some fixing, which I'll do later.

CCMAIL: k.ivanow@gmail.com

More patching from Ana. Thanks, Ana!

CCMAIL: constansin5@gmail.com

Commiting Ana-Maria Constantin's work on the "Telescopes" section of
the Astroinfo project. While I still have improvements to suggest and
maybe even some corrections to make, I thought this work could get
commited since it was already usable.

Thanks Ana! I hope we can polish this work a little more before we
close this task.

Note that I made a couple of changes to Ana's docbook file -- I fixed
a couple of syntax errors, and a small typo that prevented it from
compiling.

In addition to that, I also added the new article into the
indexes. I've created a new section called "Instrumentation" to adopt
this article under the Astroinfo project.

CCMAIL: constansin5@gmail.com, victor.carbune@kdemail.net

Added license information.
Hope there isn't anything else I forgot.

CCMAIL: kstars-devel@kde.org, kharvd@gmail.com

Fixed last commit: added the KSHelpLabel class.

CCMAIL: kstars-devel@kde.org, kharvd@gmail.com

Nice feature done by Valery Kharitonov as a Google Code-in task.

He added a generic widget KSHelpLabel which can be used to create help
label, that points to our AstroInfo documentation within KHelpCenter.

This way we connect astronomical terms (declination, right ascension etc.)
with all the documentation available within the AstroInfo project.

Thanks, Valery and hope to see you contributing again to our project!

CCMAIL: kstars-devel@kde.org, kharvd@gmail.com

Commiting fresh screenshots to replace the old ones in the KStars
handbook. No new screenshots were added -- just replacements of old
screenshots.

Is it okay to put this into trunk, or will it violate the freeze?

Congratulations on your successful Code-in task, Carl. Looking forward
to many more contributions from you!

CCMAIL: cgao117@gmail.com, kde-i18n-doc@kde.org

Create a new branch for Google Code-In and make it as minimal as
possible -- only docs and KStars get built.

Blocking a lot of unwanted revisions on the OpenGL branch

Fix compile on OpenGL branch by making TargetListComponent use
SkyPainter.

Merging from trunk to Open GL branch. Manually merged revisions
1186056 and 1186058.

This breaks compile in the OpenGL branch because of the latest changes
I made by introducing a TargetListComponent.

Temporarily block my commit that causes a conflict (rev. 1186056)

Fix copyright notice.

Merge trunk into my branch

Use correct texture mode. This fixes the green galaxy issue

Get the GL painter to draw deep-sky textures.

N.B. this is pretty wonky right now unless M31 is supposed to be bright green.

Don't use altRefracted() in checkVisibility().

SkyPoint::altRefracted() is approximately 35 times slower than SkyPoint::alt(),
and 70% of the total time spent in checkVisibility() is spent on altRefracted().

CCMAIL:kstars-devel@kde.org

Change the planets to use the Texture class.

This will make it possible to draw their images using GL.

However, we have to resize these textures to have side
lengths l= 2^n.

Constify Texture class

rm warnings

Purge.

CCMAIL:akarshsimha@gmail.com

remove test code

Use overpainting to render labels and overlays onto the GL Widget.

Fix disappearing labels

Do proper checks before drawing constellation name labels

Have the SkyLabeler use a QPicture so we can easily redraw labels

Only draw if the ground poly is nonempty. This fixes a crash.

Filter away points below the horizon in Equatorial mode.

We don't call EquatorialToHorizontal first because it is
expensive and has usually already been called.

Ideally there would be a way to know whether or not
the given SkyPoint had its two sets of coordinates syncronized,
but it doesn't seem that there is a way to do this.

Instead, we add the proviso that the points must have already
had EquatorialToHorizontal called on them.

CCMAIL:kstars-devel@kde.org

Add checkVisiblity to the the clipping code.

This has the effect of clipping all polygons and lines
that go below the horizon.

Update checkVisibility

Fix issue dragging the Equirect projection

Add checkvisibility calls to avoid drawing stars below horizon

Draw planet 'fake stars' with correct colour

Fix ground in Equirect

Add equirectangular projectior class.

N.B., the horizon does not quite work yet in Equatorial Coords.

Add azimuthal equidistant projector

Add ortho projection

Add Stereographic Projection

Add Gnomonic projection

Move some projection stuff to avoid code dup

Request buffers for antialising

Fix horizon drawing. As it turns out, it was using the convex version rather than the nonconvex polygon drawing code.

rm compiler warning

Fix visibility checks in QPainter backend

Have the horizoncomponent draw the horizon using
the new functions. Still to do are the horizon label
and fixing an issue with non-convex polygons on the GL
painter and removing the now-dead code.

Add horizon poly function to the projector. The code is much simpler than before; in addition, it should now be able to fill the ground with Equatorial coords

Use proper blending functions

Destroy this horrible function

Move rude name labels into the SkyLabeler and the Transient Label into skymapcomposite

Have Skylabeler::AddLabel do its own projection

Move observing list drawing into the painter

Remove some functions that are now in the Projector class and move setMapGeometry into the SkyMap

Use the QPainter backend to test things as I try to cut down skymapdraw.cpp

Move findPA

Move CheckVisibility into Projector

Remove use SkyMap::toScreen everywhere except for the SkyMap itself

Add onScreen function to projector

Don't cache sin/cos for inverse projections to prevent stutter.

Start pulling projection code out of the SkyMap
in preparation for splitting the SkyMap class into
pieces.

Try to reserve about as many spots as we'll need to improve performance

Implement proper clipping for the GL painter's drawSkyPolyline()
function. It's somewhat slower than no clipping, but on the other
hand it is actually correct and produces no wierd garbage.

In particular the gnomonic projection works totally correctly.

CCMAIL:kstars-devel@kde.org

Implement Odd-Even fill for convex polygons as described in Ch.14 of the Red 
Book. To test it, uncomment the "#define MAKE_KSTARS_SLOW" line.

We disable the colour buffer, then draw triangle fans that invert the stencil 
buffer. At the end any pixel in even-ly-many triangles is eliminated and any in
odd-ly-many triangles is kept. Then we draw a big polygon using this stencil.

While this temporarily solves the non-concavity issue, it does so at the price 
of killing the framerate: when the Milky Way is enabled, the rendering is twice
as slow -- previously, enabling it had no noticable effect on speed.
This is because of all of the extra triangles it has to draw.

Ideally we would change the data to have only concave polygons, but I'm not 
sure of the format, or whether we will ever want to have other convex data.

CCMAIL:kstars-devel@kde.org

Implement polygon clipping in the GL painter, or rather, copy the
implementation from the QPainter clipper and make the appropriate changes so
that it works. 

As a result the gnomonic projection no longer resembles a blizzard. However
there are still problems due to the non-convexity of the data.

Add a function for clipping that works with Vector2f instead of QPointF

  Add functions to calculate refraction corrections to SkyPoint.
  
  Old code used lookup tables and linear interpolation to calculate
  corrections. Now code just calculate correctionusing formula.
  Optimizations could be added if needed.
  
  Correctted altitude is continous which means that gap will
  not appear.
  
  Reverce corrections are calculated by solving equation
  > h' = h + deltaH(h) iteratively
  This is acceptable from performance PoV. unrefract isn't
  called in loops. It's robust since it doesn't depend on details
  of refract implementation
  
  Also function which returns refracted altitude is added to SkyPoint

Fix a crash caused by a buffer overflow.

The code was operating under the false assumption that there were no TYPE_UNKNOWN objects. When one was added to the buffers, it overwrote the values of m_idx with some floats, which, when interpreted as integer data, told the painter to add the next item to the buffer at position >1 billion, causing a SIGSEGV.

Finished adding search options for the Object List.
This should be a good moment to check the integrity of the data loaded in KStars.

CCMAIL:kstars-devel@kde.org

The KSObjectList view with Context Menu is now independent of ObservingList.
It can be used with any other model (e.g. ObjectList - QSqlQueryModel and ObservingList - QStandardItemModel)

Object hashes for DeepSky Objects will rely on the object id, and other information (such as namesearch)
will be done through a query on the database (the method SkyObject* ObjectList::getObject(id) is used for this)
This method is currently used in the ObjectList dialog (work in progress).

Fix warning spam

Add a method to project to the screen that returns a Vector3f.

We need a projection method that gives us vectors of floats fo use with OpenGL.

There are three options:
1) Duplicate all of the projection code, and have almost-identical methods for projection to QPointF and for projection to Vector3f.

2) Make projection to Vector3f a wrapper around a projection to QPointF, i.e., project to a QPointF and then convert to a Vector3f

3) Make projection to QPointF a wrapper around a projection to Vector3f, i.e., project to a Vector3f and then convert to a QPointF

I picked option 3) over option 1) because it reduces code duplication, and I picked option 3) over option 2) because QPointF has overhead that we don't need or want if we are using GL.

Simplify SkyPainter

This essentially removes most of the code in SkyPainter and moves it into
the subclass implementation[s]. While the original intent was to keep all
projection code in one place, the GL backend will probably want to use a
projection that gives it a Vec2f or something rather than one that gives
a QPointF. The only other thing that was really done in the drawFoo()
methods was checking whether the object was on screen, and the simplicity
of leaving things up to the subclass outweighs the slight disadvantage of
duplicating visibility code.

[Possibly unsafe] 
Changing the svnmerge-integrated property to be in sync with the current state of the branch.

This [hopefully] updates the unfrozen branch to the current trunk state. Will reinit the svnmerge once someone confirms this.

CCMAIL: kstars-devel@kde.org

Syncing KStars directory of trunk with the unfrozen branch. Useful to
catch the small amount of love KStars gets from me during December

  Implement support for multiple FOVs displaying. 
  
  This is an extensive changeset but it's difficult to do such changes 
  in small pieces.
  
  Now all FOVs are stored in memory in one QList in KStarsData object. 
  Configuration file are also changed. Only names of displayed FOVs are 
  stored Options::. There's no way to store list of FOVs there so they are
  still stored in fov.dat. 
  
  Regressions:
   * There is no way to set default list of FOVs since new 
     code for reading accept empty fov.dat happily and doesn't
     revert it. 
   * FOV symbol isn't drawed in FOV dialog.
   * All DCOP/D-Bus related stuff for FOVs now broken.

  Refactor the classes handling the moons of the planets. They had a lot of code duplication and adding moons to other planets would have been cumbersome.
  Here is what it does:
  * it removes JupiterMoonsComponent and the SaturnMoonsComponent classes and replaces them with a PlanetMoonsComponent class,
  * it factors the sharable code of JupiterMoons and SaturnMoons into a new base class PlanetMoons. Only the code specific to the calculation of the location of the satellites is left into the subclasses.

  This commit attempts to fix bug #199941 by adding a byteorder.h that
  checks if the system headers that define 16-bit and 32-bit
  byteswapping macros are present, and defines custom-made bswap_16 and
  bswap_32 macros otherwise.
  
  This has not been tested, but should fix the bug. Please reopen if

  Typedefs and declarations for UID for sky ojects.
  
  UID typedef is implemented inside of SkyObject class. This is

  small and not deserve header on ots own.

Adding a feature to save the list of equipments with the user. Right now the dialog can be accessed using ctrl+0.

CCMAIL:kstars-devel@kde.org

Reverting an earlier patch, making the class Log usable with multiple instances as we need them now to maintiain different forms of equipmentlist, etc. 
1. We'll need one list for all the objects used( a global list, hence will have a pointer to the log object in the kstarsdata class )
2. We'll need a list for the objects read from a file
3. We'll need a list for objects to be written into a file.
So, making multiple instances available will take care of the tasks 2 and 3. The need for a global object will be taken care of by the pointer in kstars->data() rather than a single instance.

  Original commit log:
  
  Thu May 14 20:50:08 2009 UTC (8 weeks, 4 days ago) by aurel32:
  
  Test on __linux__ is wrong as the behaviour does not depends on the kernel
  but on the userland, that is GNU libc, tested by __GLIBC__. Test on 
  __FreeBSD__ and __NetBSD__ are correct though as they represent both the 
  kernel and the userland.
  
  The patch does not remove __linux__ in the patch to be as conservative as
  possible.

  forceUpdate() claims to recompute all object positions, whereas stars
  were left out of this after JIT Update was introduced.
  
  This commit makes sure that the update IDs are incremented when
  forceUpdate() is called, thus making sure that star positions are
  recomputed as well.

  * Replace memcpy based copying in with more C++ "copying". Instead
  pass reference to {starData,deepStarData} into StarBlock::addStar

  Possible pitfalls. StarObject::init doesn't reset object name(s) but I 
  believe it's not real problem for stars which are swapped in/out since
  they do not have name. 
  
  Code is marginally faster when not dominated by I/O.

  This should fix bug 189399.
  
  "Jupiter" might be translated in some languages, so putting an i18n on
  the findByName call should prevent it from returning NULL and crashing
  KStars. This should not introduce new strings as "Jupiter" is
  translated elsewhere.
  
  I can't test this fix because I don't have a language that translates
  the string 'Jupiter', but it leaves the German and English versions
  (that don't translate Jupiter) untouched. Please test this fix and
  close the bug if it works.

Improved variable-speed slewing.  Instead of a kludgy mess of nested if's to 
implement a triangular speed profile, I am now using much simpler code to 
implement a cosine-shaped profile.

There's a little bit of asymmetry in the profile (i.e., the ending speed doesn't 
quite get down to the level of the starting speed, so the ending is a little bit 
abrupt).  This is a consequence of the speed being determined for position r, and 
then applied over the interval (r+dr).  The solution is to make the determined 
speed the average of speed(r) and speed(r+dr), but I'm not sure it's worth the 
extra math.  Let me know if the asymmetry is bothersome, or if you have a clean 
solution for it...

CCMAIL: kstars-devel@kde.org

Introducing variable-speed slewing.  When you move to a new position, rather than 
slewing at a uniform rate, the speed will gradually increase to a maximum value, 
then slow down as the target is approached.

Try it out and let me know what you think.  Is this appealing enough that we can 
just discard uniform slews, or should users be given the option?

Fixing bug #166002 (Option to save DSS image).

The ImageViewer dialog has Save and Close buttons, but due to a layout problem, 
they were not visible in the window.  I added a QFrame container for the image 
canvas and the text caption, and made this container the dialog's mainWidget.  
This makes the dialog buttons visible again.  

Unfortunately, it also causes a pretty thick margin to be added around the 
image/caption.  Maybe a designer file for the dialog could solve this issue, but 
at least the Save button is accessible again.  Too bad it's too late for 4.1...

Thank you very much for the report Prakash!

Reverting r829109 (removing KStarsData pointers from function args).

As discussed on the mailing list, it would be wise to postpone such pervasive 
"code cleanup" changes until after our two branches have been merged back into 
trunk.

All of the reverted changes remain on my local disk, awaiting the merge.

Sorry for the noise!

CCMAIL: kstars-devel@kde.org

Remove KStarsData pointers from function argument lists (use 
KStarsData::Instance() instead).

Stage 1: SkyComponents.

I have added a protected KStarsData* member to SkyComponent (so all 
Components/Composites inherit this member).  The pointer is assigned to 
KStarsData::Instance() in the component's init() function.

Question: does it make sense to store this pointer as a member, or should we 
simply call KStarsData::Instance() locally in the functions that need it?

Note: I made init() pure virtual in abstract classes (i.e., "virtual void init() = 
0;" instead of "virtual void init() {}") to make sure they can't be instantiated.

As a result of this change, I had to add a CustomCatalogComposite class, because I 
had been using a SkyComposite directly to store our custom catalog components, and 
I decided that SkyComposite should be an abstract class.

Applying variable timestep patch from trunk (r827206).

Akarsh, your commit message mentioned fixing a few bugs that my original patch

minute?

Also adding a nice progress bar that appears in place of the Compute button while 
the computation takes place, and then disappears when it's done.

TODO:

porting small angular ruler fix from trunk (r827409)
CCMAIL: kstars-devel@kde.org

Fix compile issue when libnova is not install, thanks to Jason for pointing this out

Fix the enum issue.  I now always give the enum value scope by
prefixing the classname in which it is defined (e.g.,
KSPlanetBase::MOON).  Note that I had already been doing this for the
SkyObject::TYPE enum values. so some part of my brain knew this might
be an issue!

CCMAIL: kstars-devel@kde.org

I need this change to compile the branch on mac osx (but I don't need
it on linux).  YMMV, but in any case, it shouldn't hurt.

CCMAIL: kstars-devel@kde.org

Interesting-yet-annoying C++ Trivia:

If you declare an enum thusly:

typedef enum { MERCURY, VENUS, MARS, JUPITER, SATURN, URANUS, NEPTUNE, PLUTO, 
SUN, MOON } PLANET;

there's *no* guarantee that the integers assigned to each item will be 
consecutive.  They *usually* are, but just for fun, sometimes they aren't!  In my 
case, the first 9 items were assigned consecutive numbers 0-8, and then the MOON 
item was assigned to 12!  

That's the last time I trust g++ to count to 9, I guess...
Argh.

CCMAIL: kstars-devel@kde.org

One more port from trunk, revision 826203.  Quoting original commit message:

Forcing the algorithm to find conjunctions take finer steps when
dealing with the Moon, Venus and Mars, than before.

Also removing the condition on prevSign to check for a minimum. This
condition was probably incorrect, and removing it seems to produce
more (correct) results.

These fixes certainly make the conjunction tool slower, but more
exhaustive in listing out conjunctions.

CCMAIL: kstars-devel@kde.org

Porting fix from trunk, revision 824546.  Quoting the original commit message:

Resolving an inconsistency between toolbar actions and
the configuration window: the view toolbar provides an
action to toggle all deep-sky objects on/off, but in the
configuration window, there were only controls for
individual catalogs (Messier, NGC, IC, etc).

I added a Checkbox to the configuration window to toggle
all deep-sky objects.  Unchecking this box will disable
all deep-sky related widgets in the window, like the
"Hipparcos star catalog" checkbox does for stars.  The
checkbox and the toolbar button are properly synced with
each other.

No new string was added, but there will be a fuzzy: I
adopted the "Deep-Sky Catalogs" string which was used as
a group-box title.  The group box now has no title.  For
consistency, I also removed the (redundant anyway) "Star
catalog" title from the stars group box.  So that string
has disappeared.

CCMAIL: kstars-devel@kde.org

porting fix from trunk, revision 822426.  Quoting the original commit message: 

Fix UI bugs in the Options window, Catalogs tab.  Certain controls (the star 
magnitude limits and deep-sky catalogs) did not enable the Apply button when 
modified.  The deep-sky catalogs changed the map immediately without needing Apply 
or Ok, which is inconsistent.  Now these controls behave like all of the other 
options: Apply, Ok, and Cancel should all work on them as expected.

Thanks for pointing this out, James.

Better fix for bug #165170.  Now the order of items in the planet comboboxes is 
hard-coded in conjunctions.cpp, using a new PLANET enum I added to KSPlanetBase.  
So it's not possible for the order to be wrong.

I also added a convenience function 'static KSPlanetBase* 
KSPlanetBase::createPlanet(int)', so you can simply call: 
KSPlanetBase::createPlanet(VENUS), rather than using the KSPlanet ctor, and using 
the planet's name to determine which planet gets created.  There is also a new 
KSPlanet(int) ctor that does essentially the same thing.

Note: this commit won't be merged into trunk until after 4.1 is released.

Welcome the Tycho 2 catalog with stars down to mag 12.5 consistently,
and some stars fainter than that.

I hardly notice any memory overhead with sensible magLimitZoomOut
(5.5) and memUsage (9) settings. This is probably because the maximum
memory requirement is not at the maximum zoom, but at intermediate
zoom levels when maglim = 9.5 or so.

Thanks a lot for the catalogs Jason!

The memory usage slider now actually works.

+ Fixing type of Options::memUsage() to double

+ Changing default value of slider to 8

+ Making sure that settings apply correctly in slotApply()

+ Using Options::memUsage() in the maglim formula in StarComponent. I
  cooked up the formula ad-hoc, but it seems to work pretty well. The
  typical memory usage at small zoom levels with the slider at value
  '2' is about 50K (total) and is about 90K with the slider at value
  '10'. I found that 8 gives a good star density, to my satisfaction.

CCMAIL: kstars-devel@kde.org

Applying James' patch, making some fixes to the debug information and
removing a few compiler warnings.

The debug information looks neat now. Thanks James.

CCMAIL: kstars-devel@kde.org

When the zoom level is changed, the new FOV angle is now 
displayed in the statusbar.  It uses the non-persistent 
messages section of the SB, which I think works pretty 
well.  

CCMAIL: kstars-devel@kde.org

Presto, chango!
The statusbar now has a (non-functional) KLed on its 
right side.  If you want it on the left, move the new 
lines to the top of initStatusBar().

The public accessor is KLed* KStars::diskLED()
The relevant functions to call are diskLED()->on() and 
diskLed()->off() (or diskLED()->toggle()).

(BTW, FYI: this is going to be used to indicate when the 
disk is being accessed to dynamically load more stars.  
It will probably be configured to only show up for debug 
builds, or at least will be hidden by default)

The Shift modifier reduces the step to 0.5.  

The Ctrl modifier reduces it to 0.2.

Combined, they reduce it to 0.1.

CCMAIL:wildi.markus@bluewin.ch
CCMAIL:kstars-devel@kde.org

Added large zoom steps to unfrozen branch.

The change in zoom due to the mouse wheel or "-" and "=" keys is now 2.0
instead of the previous 1.1.  This reduces the number of key presses or
wheel clicks to change to to a given zoom by roughly a factor of eight.

The Shift and Control keys reduce the zoom step by factors of 2 and 4
respectively.  Combined, they reduce it by a factor of 8 which is close
to (but not equal to) the original factor of 1.1.

Also increased MINZOOM from 200 to 250, which I think roughly compensates
for the change caused when we converted SkyMap::fov() to reporting the
diagonal of the screen instead of the minimum of the height and width.
The change in fov() was made to provide a radius for the SkyMesh::aperture()
call.

CCMAIL: kstars-devel@kde.org

+ Fixing bug that was causing fainter stars not to be displayed in
some trixels. We use different trixel ID numbers on the data file and
within the SkyMesh class to identify the same trixel. The code in
starblocklist.cpp was using the wrong trixel ID to readout the number
of stars from the data file header. As a confirmation of the fix,
KStars now displays mag 12.1 stars in the M22 region

+ Implementing the code required to re-use StarBlocks. This code was
not implemented correctly, causing 3 times more memory to be
used. This involved updating drawID at each draw, and making some
changes in the StarBlock and StarBlockFactory classes.

+ Merging patches from trunk

+ Incorporating Tycho 1 star catalog down to magnitude 12.

It's amazing to see so much star density. Maybe the magnitude limit
formula requires a little more tweaking, because it is displaying far
too many stars at intermediate zoom levels and that is causing zoom-in
to respond a little slowly.

Thanks for the parsed catalog Jason!

CCMAIL: kstars-devel@kde.org

Fixing a trivial bug in starblocklist.cpp that was preventing
markNext() from being called. This was causing blocks to never be
inserted into the LRU Cache, and thus, cached blocks were never
reused.

With this fix, we achieve a 2x drop in memory usage when limiting
magnitudes at zoom in and zoom out are 10.0 and 6.2!

Leaving the debug statements till we are sure of the code quality.

CCMAIL: kstars-devel@kde.org

Implementing dynamic loading of star data from harddisk, depending on
current trixel.

At (zoom out mag limit, zoom in mag limit) = (6.3, 10.0) with
sufficient zoom (I couldn't measure it, but I could expect not more
than 6 trixels to be present), we get a saving of about 30kB in
memory.

This is still bad because we are allocation 179 StarBlocks, so it
looks like we still have some bug.

+ Removing the StarObject::init() with many arguments and retaining
only StarObject::init( starData *stardata );

+ Adding StarObject::setNames() so that named stars can be initialized
from starObject::init() and have their names set later

+ Modifying the code in StarComponent to use the the other (only)
StarObject::init() method. Reducing the number of arguments to the
init() method reduced the time for creation of one star by 1 usec,
which is a 20% reduction in load time. (Earlier load time ~ 225ms,
current load time ~ 183ms). This also keeps the code clean and reduces
code duplication.

CCMAIL: kstars-devel@kde.org

StarObject objects for unnamed stars are now created by memcpy()-ing a
template object and then filling in the data, instead of using the
constructor.

Also replacing call to skyMesh::indexStar(...) by a simple method of
obtaining the trixel ID. [Works only for level 3 HTM]

This seems to have brought down the time to load each star by a factor
of 6!! On my system, it now takes about 225 seconds on an average to
load 41560 stars, as against ~1745 seconds earlier. The timing code is
currently left as it is, for testing this out.

Some of the newly implemented code could be dangerous, as it uses
pointers at a very low level. This code is almost surely going to
result in a segmentation fault when we implement storage and retrieval
of observing log data and user-added links!

I didn't realise it would be so easy to do this - I thought I'd have
to modify all classes in the inheritance tree starting from SkyPoint!
Many thanks to James, who rightly pointed out that it was the stack of
constructors (and the SkyMesh::indexStar()) that were eating away most
of the time.
