dms_to_rad

ssapy.utils.dms_to_rad(coords)[source][source]

Convert coordinates from degrees, minutes, and seconds (DMS) format to radians.

Parameters:

coords (str, list, or tuple):

A single DMS coordinate as a string (e.g., “12d34m56s”).

A list or tuple of DMS coordinates as strings.

Returns:

float or list:

If a single coordinate is provided, returns its value in radians.

If multiple coordinates are provided (list or tuple), returns a list of values in radians.

Example:

dms_to_rad(“12d34m56s”) -> 0.219725 dms_to_rad([“12d34m56s”, “45d67m89s”]) -> [0.219725, 0.798488]
