Identifies the type of cartographic projection characteristic of a given map. These names or types are derived from names used in USGS Professional Paper 1395. (default: SINUSOIDAL)
Photometric function type (default: NONE) This parameter selects the menu point for input the photometry task: 1. to run the program without using a photometric function, you have to select "NONE"' 3. to run the program without using a photometric correction you have to select the desired photometric function. Note for the tutor mode : When returning to the highest level of the menu program you will see that the fourth selection point has been changed according to your input of PHO_FUNC in the first menu point.

Minimum latitude of image data (wrt. MP_RADIUS if set) allowed in output file (should be set by user, e.g. if south pole is in image) (def.: -90.0)
Maximum latitude of image data (wrt. MP_RADIUS if set) allowed in output file (should be set by user, e.g. if north pole is in image) (def.: 90.0)
This is the width of a black border region with a grayvalue of 0 which is generated all arround the output image. If a special projection offset is given by the user the border will only be generated at the bottom and right side of the output image. Default for BORDER = 20 Note, that BORDER does not allways define the width exact. It might vary due to real-to-integer-conversion of offsets by +/- 1 pixel and due to interpolation limitations at the image border (e.g. using Cubic Convolution or Bilinear Interpolation) by additional +/- 1 pixel. This does not affect the correctness of offsets.

Target emission angle (in degrees) for the photometric correction from the nativ illumination condition to target artficial ons. The emission angle element provides the value of the angle between the surface normal vector at the interception point and a vector from the intercept point to the viewer (artificial spacecraft). The emission angle varies from 0 degrees when the viewer is looking perpendicular to the local surface (nadir viewing) to 90 degrees when the intercept is tangent to the surface of the target body.
Target incidence angle (in degrees) for the photometric correction from the nativ illumination condition to target artficial ons. The target incidence angle element provides a measure of the target artificial lighting condition at the intercept point. The target incidence angle is the angle between the surface normal vector at the intercept point (at the surface) and a vector from the intercept point to the artificial "sun". The incidence angle varies from 0 degrees when the "solar" direction is perpendicular to the local surface to 90 degrees when the intercept is tangent to the surface of the target body.
Target azimuth angle (in degrees) for the photometric correction from the nativ illumination condition to target artficial ons. The target phase angle element provides a measure of the relationship between the target viewing direction (corrected to desired ons) and incidence artificial "solar" light direction. Phase angle is defined as the angle between a vector from the intercept point to the "sun" and a vector from the intercept point to the viewer. Phase angle varies from 0 degrees, when the "sun" is directly behind the viewer, to 180 degrees, when the "sun" is opposite the viewer.

The a-axis measure provides the value of the a-axis of a solar system body. This element provides the semimajor equatorial radius measured perpendicular to the spin axis. In the case of a spherical or oblate spherical body, the a-axis and b-axis measures have the same value. A_AXIS_RADIUS is measured in kilometers.
The b-axis measure provides the value of the b-axis of a solar system body. This element provides the semiminor equatorial radius measured perpendicular to the spin axis. In the case of a spherical or oblate spherical body, the a-axis and b-axis measures have the same value. B_AXIS_RADIUS is measured in kilometers.
The C axis measure provides the value of the c-axis of a solar system body. This element provides the polar radius as measured along the spin axis. C_AXIS_RADIUS is measured in kilometers.

Identifies the scale of a given map in pixels per degree. Please refer to the definition for map scale for a more complete definition. Note that map resolution and map scale both define the scale of a map except that they are expressed in different units. Map scale is measured in kilometers per pixel.
Map scale is defined as the ratio of the actual distance between two points on the surface of the target body to the distance between the corresponding points on the map. The map scale references the scale of a map at a certain reference point or line, measured in kilometers per pixel. Certain map projections vary in scale throughout the map. In general, the map scale usually refers to the scale of the map at the center latitude and center longitude. An exception are the Conic projections; the map scale refers to the scale at the standard parallels for these projections. The relationship between map scale and the map resolution element is that they both define the scale of a given map, except they are expressed in different units. Map resolution is in pixels per degree.
Identifies the direction of longitude (e.g. EAST, WEST) for a planet. The IAU definition for direction of positive longitude is adopted. Typically, for planets with prograde rotations, positive longitude direction is to the west. For planets with retrograde rotations, positive longitude direction is to the east.
The center_latitude element provides a reference latitude for certain map projections, measured in degrees with a valid range of (-90.0, 90.0). In many projections, the center_latitude along with the center_longitude defines the point or tangency between the sphere of the planet and the plane of the projection. For spherical projections, the center_latitude is formally defined in terms of Euler angles (please refer to the definition for spherical_azimuth for a more complete explanation). The map_scale (or map_resolution) is typically defined at the center_latitude and center_longitude.
The center_longitude element provides a reference longitude for certain map projections, measured in degrees with a valid range of (0,360). In many projections, the center_longitude along with the center_latitude defines the point or tangency between the sphere of the planet and the plane of the projection. For spherical projections, the center_longitude is formally defined in terms of Euler angles (please refer to the definition for spherical_azimuth for a more complete explanation). The map_scale (or map_resolution) is typically defined at the center latitude and longitude.
For the spherical body model, a clockwise rotation of that body about an imaginary axis through a specified center latitude and longitude (MIPS-PDS keywords CENTER_LATITUDE, CENTER_LONGITUDE) allows for a reorientation prior to map projection of the surface to the image space. The measure of this clockwise rotation in degrees is the spherical azimuth. More specifically, the spherical body model is first rotated about its polar axis until the specified center longitude lies at the projection center. Then the body model is rotated about an axis perpendicular to the specified center longitude until the center latitude lies at the projection center. Finally, the body model is rotated clockwise about the radius vector from the center of the sphere to the center latitude and longitude point to complete the pre-mapping body reorientation.
Provides the line offset value of the map projection origin position from the center of the pixel line and sample {1,1} (line and sample 1,1 is considered the upper left corner of the digital array). Note that the positive direction is to the right and down.

After points have been projected to image space (x,y or line,sample), a clockwise rotation, in degrees, of the line and sample coordinates can be made with respect to the map projection origin - specified by line and sample projection offset. This clockwise rotation in degrees is the Cartesian azimuth. This parameter is used to indicate where 'up' is in the projection.
Standard parallels are used in certain projections, e.g. Lambert Conic and Albers, to mark selected latitudes for defining components of a map projection. If a Conic projection has a single standard parallel, then the first standard parallel is the point of tangency between the sphere of the planet and the cone of the projection. If there are two standard parallels, both first and second parallels, these are the intersection lines between the sphere of the planet and the cone of the projection. For respective map projections, map scale is defined at the standard parallels.
