Detailed_Input

   nv          is the number of vertices belonging to the input
               set of plates.

   vrtces      is an array of coordinates of the vertices. Vertex
               indices, also called "vertex numbers," are 1-based in
               all languages supported by SPICE, and range from 1 to
               `nv'. The ith vertex occupies elements [i-1][0:2] of
               this array.

   np          is the number of plates in the input plate set.

   plates      is an array representing the triangular plates of a
               shape model. The elements of `plates' are vertex
               indices; vertex indices, as well as plate indices, are
               1-based in all languages supported by SPICE. The vertex
               indices of the ith plate occupy elements [i-1][0:2] of
               this array.

   finscl      is the fine voxel scale. This scale determines the
               edge length of the cubical voxels comprising the fine
               voxel grid: the edge length `voxsiz' is approximately

                   finscl * {average plate extent}

               where the extents of a plate are the respective
               differences between the maximum and minimum
               coordinate values of the plate's vertices.

               The relationship between `voxsiz' and the average plate
               extent is approximate because the `voxsiz' is adjusted
               so that each dimension of the fine voxel grid is an
               integer multiple of the coarse voxel scale.

               See the -Particulars section below for further
               information on voxel scales.

   corscl      is the coarse voxel scale. This integer scale is the
               ratio of the edge length of coarse voxels to that of
               fine voxels. The coarse scale must be large enough so
               that the total number of coarse voxels does not exceed
               SPICE_DSK02_MAXCGR (see the -Parameters section below).

   worksz      is the second dimension of the workspace array `work'.
               `worksz' must be at least as large as the greater of

                  - the number of fine voxel-plate associations

                    This number is equal to

                       np * {average number of fine voxels
                             intersected by each plate}

                  - the number of vertex-plate associations, if
                    the vertex-plate mapping is constructed.

                    This number is equal to

                       nv + ( 3 * np )

   voxpsz      is the size of the fine voxel-plate pointer array.
               This array maps fine voxels to lists of plates that
               intersect those voxels. `voxpsz' must be at least as
               large as

                        3
                  corscl  * {number of non-empty coarse voxels}

   voxlsz      is the size of the fine voxel-plate list array. This
               array contains, for each non-empty fine voxel, the
               count of plates that intersect that voxel and the
               IDs of those plates. `voxlsz' must be at least as large
               as

                       `np' * {average number of fine voxels
                             intersected by each plate}

                   +   {number of non-empty fine voxels}

   makvtl      is a logical flag that, when set to SPICETRUE, indicates
               that a  vertex-plate association list is to be
               constructed.

               The amount of workspace that is needed may depend on
               whether a vertex-plate association list is
               constructed. When this list is constructed, the size
               of the integer component of the spatial index is
               increased by the size of the list and the size of a
               vertex-plate pointer array; the total of these sizes
               is

                  ( 2 * nv ) + ( 3 * np )

   spxisz      is the declared size of the output array `spaixi'. This
               size must be at least as large as the sum of

                  - the fixed-size part of the integer component of
                    the index, which includes the coarse voxel grid;
                    this value is

                       SPICE_DSK02_IXIFIX

                  - the size `voxpsz' of the voxel-plate pointer array

                  - the size `voxlsz' of the voxel-plate association
                    list

               plus, if the vertex-plate association list is
               constructed,

                  - the size `nv' of the vertex-plate pointer array

                  - the size of the vertex-plate association list;
                    this size is

                       nv + ( 3 * np )

   work        is the workspace array. The array should be declared
               with dimensions

                  (2, worksz)

               See the description of `worksz' above.

Particulars

   Users planning to create DSK files should consider whether the
   SPICE DSK creation utility MKDSK may be suitable for their needs.

   This routine supports use of the DSK type 2 segment writer dskw02_c
   by creating the "spatial index" arrays required as inputs to that
   routine.

   A spatial index is a group of data structures that facilitates
   rapid high-level computations involving sets of plates. The data
   structures created by this routine are aggregated into arrays
   of type SpiceInt and type SpiceDouble.


   Voxel grids
   ===========

   A key geometric computation---probably the most important, as it
   serves as a foundation for other high-level computations---is
   finding the intersection of a ray with the plate set. DSK type 2
   segments use data structures called "voxel grids" as part of
   their indexing mechanism. There is a "coarse grid": a box that
   completely encloses a DSK type 2 segment's plate set, and which
   is composed of identically-sized cubes called "coarse voxels."
   Each coarse voxel in composed of smaller cubes called "fine
   voxels." When the term "voxel" is used without qualification, it
   refers to fine voxels.

   Type 2 DSK segments contain data structures that associate plates
   with the fine voxels intersected by those plates. These
   structures enable the type 2 DSK software to rapidly find plates
   in a given region of space.

   Voxel scales
   ============

   There are two voxel scales:

   -  The coarse voxel scale is the integer ratio of the
      edge length of a coarse voxel to the edge length of
      a fine voxel

   -  The fine voxel scale is the double precision ratio
      of the edge length of a fine voxel to the average
      extent of the plates in the input plate set. "Extents"
      of a plate are the absolute values of the differences
      between the respective maximum and minimum X, Y, and Z
      coordinates of the plate's vertices.

   Voxel scales determine the resolution of the voxel grid.
   Voxel scales must be chosen to satisfy size constraints and
   provide reasonable plate lookup performance.

   The following considerations apply to spatial indexes of
   type 2 DSK segments:

      1)  The maximum number of coarse voxels is fixed at
          SPICE_DSK02_MAXCGR (declared in SpiceDSK.h).

      2)  If there are too few fine voxels, the average number of
          plates per fine voxel will be very large. This largely
          negates the performance improvement afforded by having an
          index. Also, the number of plates per voxel may exceed
          limits imposed by DSK functions that use static arrays.

      3)  If there are too many fine voxels, the average number of
          voxels intersected by a given plate may be too large for
          all the plate-voxel associations to be stored. In
          addition, the time needed to examine the plate lists for
          each voxel (including the empty ones) may become quite
          large, again negating the value of the index.

   In many cases, voxel scales yielding optimum performance must be
   determined by experiment. However, the following heuristics can
   provide reasonable starting values:

      Let `np' be the number of plates. Let `fs' be the fine voxel
      scale. Then a reasonable value of `fs' may be

                 (0.25)
         fs =  np       / 8.

      In general, `fs' should not smaller than 1.

Examples

   The numerical results shown for this example may differ across
   platforms. The results depend on the SPICE kernels used as
   input, the compiler and supporting libraries, and the machine
   specific arithmetic implementation.

   1) Create a three-segment DSK file using plate model data for
      Phobos. Use latitudinal, rectangular, and planetodetic
      coordinates in the respective segments. This is not a
      realistic example, but it serves to demonstrate use of
      the supported coordinate systems.

      Use the DSK kernel below to provide, for simplicity, the
      input plate and vertex data. The selected input file has one
      segment.
