NAME

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <complex.h>
10
11       double complex cproj(double complex z);
12       float complex cprojf(float complex z);
13       long double complex cprojl(long double complex z);

DESCRIPTION

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

VERSIONS

25       These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.
26

CONFORMING TO

28       C99.
29

NOTES

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