= bigmap =

This generates a bigmap from a set of maplets.  This can be used to generate shape models or images.

=== Requires (created) ===
 * LMKFILES/
 * LMRKLIST/
 * ["LMRKLIST.TXT"] - Required.  List of landmarks
 * MAPFILES/
 * SHAPEFILES/
 * ["BIGFILES"]/ - directory of LMK for each of the required bigmaps - directory must be created, but changes are made within.
 * ["SUMFILES"] / - info about the maplets

=== Requires (created & unique) ===
 * ["BIGLIST.TXT"] - list of needed mapfiles (bigmaps) used to construct the working bigmap
 * ["INSIDE.TXT"] - ??????????  The maplets that fall within the planned bigmap.  Possibility created by bigmap.e
 * ["USED_MAPS"] - ??????????    Not sure who generates it and what it defines.  Possibility created by bigmap.e
 * Many files must be unique.  All directories can be linked to a master.

=== Optional ===
 * ["BIGMAP.IN"] - a list of landmarks that you want to use for bigmap.  It allows you to reduce the number of files and avoid low resolution images.
 * ["LMRKLIST.TXT"] - Same as above, but only used if ["BIGMAP.IN"] is missing (used for historical purposes)
 * If there are neither of these files, then it will build the list of files that are included in the coverage


=== Input stdin ===
 * A long set of commands are sent into this program that are usually contained within a file
 /!\ Longitude is in west longitude (meaning that you need a negative to match what is used in ["spheremapB.e"]

 * example:  
{{{
 ~/bin/bigmap.e < ZN0208.IN
}}}

=== Input file ===
The format is normally something like this.

{{{
l   (select location, 1 is lat/lon)
    20    -40    (latitude, west longitude)
   0.06250       500   1.23400     (scale, qsz (number of pixels), seed) 
ZN0208           (filename)
1                (end or integrate, 1 is integrate)
.005             (input fraction)
.025             (input weight)
1                (end, continue, change weight, smooth, 1 is continue integrating)
1                (end, continue, change weight, smooth, 1 is continue integrating)
1                (end, continue, change weight, smooth, 1 is continue integrating)
0                (end, continue, change weight, smooth, 0 is end iteration)
0                (no, square or round template, 0 is No Template)
}}}


=== Output ===
 * bigmap with the name based on the input (e.g. ZN0208.IN).  
 * slopeb.pgm image, that shows the slope in both in horizontal and vertical.
 * SIGMAS.TXT - Each time BIGMAP is run, it will add a line to this file showing the current sigma values
 * SIGMAS.pgm - attachment:sig2.jpg - It graphically shows the highest level of error (sigma) is for maplets.
