NAME top

       cproj, cprojf, cprojl - project into Riemann Sphere

SYNOPSIS top

       #include <complex.h>

       double complex cproj(double complex z);
       float complex cprojf(float complex z);
       long double complex cprojl(long double complex z);

       Link with -lm.

DESCRIPTION top

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

VERSIONS top

       These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.

ATTRIBUTES top

CONFORMING TO top

       C99, POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.

NOTES top

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