Description
What: Design and implement a generic pointing pattern handler/class for the TMC Dish Leaf Node. The Class will (eventually) be able to take a set of known pointing patterns and associated data to generate an 'x, y, time' pointing sequence for the dish.
Why: A number of different pointing patterns are needed for the standard operation of a 'dish' type telescope. Each pattern should not be implemented as a unique special mode, instead some generic handling of these cases should be provided.
How: In PI24 this feature will design and implement the generic pattern handling approach for the TMC Dish Leaf Node and implement an example pattern (most likely that required for holography).
