static AtmosModelCreate (Pvl &pvl, PhotoModel &pmodel)
 Create an AtmosModel object using a PVL specification.

Detailed Description

This class is used to create AtmosModel objects.

Typically, applications which perform atmospheric corrections need to use different types of atmospheric function such as Isotropic1, Anisotropic1, HapkeAtm1, etc. If this factory is given a Pvl object which contains an AtmosModel definition, it will create that specific instance of the class. For example,

  Object = AtmosphericModel Group = Algorithm
    AstName/Name = Isotropic1 ...
  EndGroup ...
   *EndObject End

Will create an Isotropic 1st order object (which is derived from AtmosModel). The simplest way to create an AtmosModel class is to use the static Create method

 Pvl p("myatmosmodel.pvl");
 AtmosModel *ar = AtmosModelFactory::Create(p);

Member Function Documentation

AtmosModel * Isis::AtmosModelFactory::Create ( Pvl pvl,
PhotoModel pmodel 
) [static]

Create an AtmosModel object using a PVL specification.

An example of the PVL required for this is:

 Object = AtmosphericModel
   Group = Algorithm
     # Use 'AtmName' instead of 'Name' if using the Gui combo box
     # for unique Pvl keyword in DefFile
     AtmName/Name = Isotropic1
     Tau = 0.7
     Tauref = 0.0
     Wha = 0.5
     Hnorm = 0.003
     Nulneg = NO
   EndGroup
 EndObject

There are many other options that can be set via the pvl and are described in other documentation (see below).

Parameters:
pvl The pvl object containing the specification
pmodel The PhotoModel objects contining the data
Returns:
A pointer to the new AtmosModel
