glb_create_descriptors.pro

NAME: glb_create_descriptors PURPOSE: Init method for the GLOBE class. CATEGORY: NV/LIB/GLB CALLING SEQUENCE: gbd = glb_create_descriptors(n) ARGUMENTS: INPUT: n: Number of descriptors to create. OUTPUT: NONE KEYWORDS (in addition to those accepted by all superclasses): INPUT: gbd: Globe descriptor(s) to initialize, instead of creating a new one. sld: Solid descriptor(s) instead of using sld_create_descriptors. bd: Body descriptor(s) instead of using bod_create_descriptors. crd: Core descriptor(s) instead of using cor_create_descriptors. lref: Array (n) of longitude reference notes. radii: Array (3,n) of ellipsoid radii. lora: Array (n) giving longitudes first ellipsoid radius. rref: Array (n) of reference radii. J: Array (n,nj) of zonal harmonics. GM: Array (n) of masses x gravitiational constant. mass: Array (n) of masses. phase_fn: Array (n) of phase function names. phase_parm: Array (npht,n) of phase function parameters. refl_fn: Array (n) of reflection function names. refl_parm: Array (npht,n) of reflection function parameters. albedo: Array (n) of bond albedos. OUTPUT: NONE RETURN: Newly created or or freshly initialized globe descriptors, depending on the presence of the gbd keyword.
