lithos

Aligns maplets to the current shape model and will provide slight changes to the shape (stored in MAPFILES).

Lithos is the key for SPC. It works on a single landmark, which defined the associated maplet. This landmark must be created (i.e. fully defined) and all the images it includes must be shifted so that everything is aligned. Once those are done, you can calculate the topography which includes identifying other maps that overlap, creating a template, and then solving the whole system.

The output from make_script and make_scriptP is used as input to lithos and lithosP for batch processing. The make_script program will create an entry for each landmark in the script.b that you will process, which is taken as input (e.g. lithos < LAND01.IIN > LAND01.OOT)

A common shortcut you can use throughout LITHOS will be to simply hit "Enter" for the default selection. Usually the default will be indicted by brackets. For instance, in the case of "Do you wish to continue? y[n]" hitting "Enter" will default to the "n" selection.

The MAIN MENU can be seen from within LITHOS by typing "?" into the user prompt. The following list will be displayed. Each of the links below can be clicked on for further details.
