% A smithchart maps the complex halfplane
% 	H subset \C,
% 	H := [0,infty] x [-infty,infty]
%  =~ \{ z = a+ j *b | a >=0, b \in \R }
%
% to the unit circle.
%
% A number z = a+jb is mapped to r(z) = (z-1) / (z+1) which is, per
% definition, in the 2d unit circle.
%
% Grid lines (i.e. a==const or b==const) are mapped on circles.
%
% In PGFPlots, the a=Re(z) is the x axis and b = Im(z) is the y axis.
%
% - CARTESIAN INPUT
% - tick/grid coordinates are from 
% - input coordinates can be either from H or (perhaps preferred) from
%   the unit circle.
%   this "preferred" needs to be discussed.
% - the transformed data range is the unit circle (or a sequeezed variant)
% - in order to compute limits etc., I should accept data in H. this
%   should simplify the logic to determine ticks etc considerably.
%   problem: this transformation appears to be quite difficult (?)
%   	-> r(z) = (z-1)/(z+1)
%   in complex arithmetics (but the G-tutorial.pdf says something
%   about these circle equations!?)
%
%   www.amanogawa.com/archive/docs/G-tutorial.pdf
%
%
% Idea: 
%   - work on H
%   - transform whereever necessary
%   - implement all pgfplots wrinkles in analogy to polar axes
%   - provide support for normalized input coords (combined with
%   untransformed limits or something like that)

% PRECONDITION
%   \pgfplotsretval contains a non-zero constraint for the ygrid at #1.
%
% POSTCONDITION
% 	either \pgfplotsretval is unchanged, or it is reset to
% 	\pgfutil@empty if constraints are violated.
%
% The constraints are ONLY effective if BOTH, incomplete x- and y grid
% lines are in effect. In that case, it should never happen that a
% single  grid line ends in a dead-end somewhere in white space.
%
% I enforce two constraints which apply only to ygrid to fix this
% issue (this may be improved later).
%
% The idea is simple:
%  1. suppose the grid line 'x=1' stops at 'y=5'.
%     Suppose further that the y grid line 'y=0.95' should stop at 'x=1'.
%     Is that acceptable? Yes, because |y| < 5.
%     Now, suppose an y grid line with |y| > 5 should stop at 'x=1'.
%     Is this allowed? NO! Because it would become a dead end since
%     the 'x=1' line ends at 'y=5'!
%
%     So, whenever we consider ygrids and stop point candidates "x=X",
%     acquire the value Q where the x (!) grid line "x=X" stops.
%     If |y| > Q, the candidate "x=X" is rejected.
%
%  2. There might still be the case that x grid lines have dead-ends.
%  	  The current solution applies the idea first to all y grid lines,
%  	  and once the y grid lines are ready, it applies the same idea to
%  	  x grid lines.
%
% Uncomment the routine(s) and run the test cases to see what happens.
