+WCSLIB is a set of C library routines that implements the World
+Coordinate System (WCS) standard in FITS (Flexible Image Transport
+System). It comes with support for FORTRAN via a set of wrapper
+functions. It also includes a general curvilinear axis drawing
+routine, PGSBOX, for PGPLOT. Another included utility program is
+HPXcvt, which is used to convert 1D HEALPix pixelization data stored
+in a variety of forms in FITS into a 2D primary image array with HPX
+or XPH coordinate representation.
+
+Usage with gcc compiler: use "-lwcs" command line argument for linking
+at compile time.
