; NAME:
; asteval
; PURPOSE:
; Evaulate an astrometric polynomial function.
; DESCRIPTION:
;
; CATEGORY:
; Astrometry
; CALLING SEQUENCE:
; val=asteval,ind,coeff,terms
; INPUTS:
; x - X - coordinate (scalar or vector)
; y - Y - coordinate (scalar or vector)
; coeff - Coefficients of the transformation, this must be a vector that has
; the terms to be used, the length must be equal to total(terms)
; terms - Which terms are to be used
; This must be a 10 element vector, a 1 means use the term, 0 means don't
; 0 - const (always use this)
; 1 - x (always use this)
; 2 - y (always use this)
; 3 - r
; 4 - x^2
; 5 - y^2
; 6 - x^3
; 7 - y^3
; 8 - xy^2
; 9 - yx^2

; OUTPUTS:
; return value - Dependent value(s), if x,y was 1-d then this will be scalar.
