NAME

6       cproj, cprojf, cprojl - project into Riemann Sphere

LIBRARY

9       Math library (libm, -lm)

SYNOPSIS

12       #include <complex.h>
13
14       double complex cproj(double complex z);
15       float complex cprojf(float complex z);
16       long double complex cprojl(long double complex z);

DESCRIPTION

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

HISTORY

39       glibc 2.1.  C99, POSIX.1-2001.
40
41       In glibc 2.11 and earlier, the implementation does something  different
42       (a stereographic projection onto a Riemann Sphere).
