Mosaic code update: mapping the kronian magnetosphere Henrik Melin Planetary and Space Science Division Space Environment Technologies UVIS Team meeting 09/01/2007
Old and new IDL code a comparison 3367 lines of code Fortran style interface Every instance of a geometric setup a special case 342 lines of code IDL style interface Cache implementation Generalized approach to dealing with geometry by using polygons
Input parameters Length of the side of the square grid Number of grid elements Target, e.g. ‘SATURN’ Flat-field array Files to process Properties of the NCDF files: time, integration time, compression etc from file header.
Output parameters A data cube x, y is spatial coordinates and z is the spectral dimension
