Detailed_Input

     INST     is the name of an instrument, such as a
              spacecraft-mounted framing camera, for which the field of
              view parameters are to be retrieved from the kernel pool.
              INST is case-insensitive, and leading and trailing blanks
              in INST are not significant. Optionally, you may supply
              the integer ID for the instrument as an integer string.
              For example, both 'CASSINI_ISS_NAC' and '-82360' are
              legitimate strings that indicate the CASSINI ISS NAC
              camera is the instrument of interest.

     ROOM     is the maximum number of 3-dimensional vectors that can
              be returned in BOUNDS.

Detailed_Output

     SHAPE    is a character string that describes the "shape" of
              the field of view. Possible values returned are:

                 'POLYGON'
                 'RECTANGLE'
                 'CIRCLE'
                 'ELLIPSE'

              If the value of SHAPE is 'POLYGON' the field of view
              of the instrument is a pyramidal polyhedron. The
              vertex of the pyramid is at the instrument focal
              point. The rays along the edges of the pyramid are
              parallel to the vectors returned in BOUNDS.

              If the value of SHAPE is 'RECTANGLE' the field of view
              of the instrument is a rectangular pyramid. The vertex
              of the pyramid is at the instrument focal point. The
              rays along the edges of the pyramid are parallel to
              the vectors returned in BOUNDS. Moreover, in this
              case, the boresight points along the axis of symmetry
              of the rectangular pyramid.

              If the value of SHAPE is 'CIRCLE' the field of view of
              the instrument is a circular cone centered on the
              boresight vector. The vertex of the cone is at the
              instrument focal point. A single vector will be
              returned in BOUNDS. This vector will be parallel to a
              ray that lies in the cone that makes up the boundary
              of the field of view.

              If the value of SHAPE is 'ELLIPSE' the field of view
              of the instrument is an elliptical cone with the
              boresight vector as the axis of the cone. In this
              case two vectors are returned in BOUNDS. One of the
              vectors returned in BOUNDS points to the end of the
              semi-major axis of a perpendicular cross section of
              the elliptic cone. The other vector points to the end
              of the semi-minor axis of a perpendicular cross
              section of the cone.

     FRAME    is the name of the reference frame in which the field
              of view boundary vectors are defined.

     BSIGHT   is a vector representing the principal instrument view
              direction that can be

                 -  the central pixel view direction,
                 -  the optical axis direction,
                 -  the FOV geometric center view direction,
                 -  an axis of the FOV frame,

              or any other vector specified for this purpose
              in the IK FOV definition. The length of BSIGHT
              is not specified other than being non-zero.

     N        is the number of boundary vectors returned.

     BOUNDS   is an array of vectors that point to the "corners" of
              the instrument field of view. (See the discussion
              accompanying SHAPE for an expansion of the term
              "corner of the field of view.") Note that the vectors
              returned in BOUNDS are not necessarily unit vectors.
              Their magnitudes will be as set in the IK (for
              'CORNERS'-style FOV specifications) or the same as the
              magnitude of the boresight (for 'ANGLES'-style FOV
              specifications.)

Parameters

     MINCOS   is the lower limit on the value of the cosine of the
              cross or reference angles in the 'ANGLES' specification
              cases. See the header of the routine GETFOV for its
              current value.

Exceptions

     1)  If the name of the instrument cannot be translated to its
         NAIF ID code, the error SPICE(IDCODENOTFOUND) is signaled.

     2)  If the frame associated with the instrument can not be found,
         an error is signaled by a routine in the call tree of this
         routine.

     3)  If the shape of the instrument field of view can not be found
         in the kernel pool, an error is signaled by a routine in the
         call tree of this routine.

     4)  If the FOV_SHAPE specified by the instrument kernel is not
         one of the four values: 'CIRCLE', 'POLYGON', 'ELLIPSE', or
         'RECTANGLE', an error is signaled by a routine in the call
         tree of this routine. If the 'ANGLES' specification is used,
         FOV_SHAPE must be one of the three values: 'CIRCLE',
         'ELLIPSE', or 'RECTANGLE'.

     5)  If the direction of the boresight cannot be located in the
         kernel pool, an error is signaled by a routine in the call
         tree of this routine.

     6)  If the number of components for the boresight vector in the
         kernel pool is not 3, or they are not numeric, an error is
         signaled by a routine in the call tree of this routine.

     7)  If the boresight vector is the zero vector, an error is
         signaled by a routine in the call tree of this routine.

     8)  If the 'ANGLES' specification is not present in the kernel
         pool and the boundary vectors for the edge of the field of
         view cannot be found in the kernel pool, an error is signaled
         by a routine in the call tree of this routine.

     9)  If there is insufficient room (as specified by the argument
         ROOM) to return all of the vectors associated with the
         boundary of the field of view, an error is signaled by a
         routine in the call tree of this routine.

     10) If the number of components of vectors making up the field of
         view is not a multiple of 3, an error is signaled by a routine
         in the call tree of this routine.

     11) If the number of components of vectors making up the field of
         view is not compatible with the shape specified for the field
         of view, an error is signaled by a routine in the call tree of
         this routine.

     12) If the reference vector for the 'ANGLES' specification can not
         be found in the kernel pool, an error is signaled by a routine
         in the call tree of this routine.

     13) If the reference vector stored in the kernel pool to support
         the 'ANGLES' specification contains an incorrect number of
         components, contains 3 character components, or is parallel to
         the boresight, an error is signaled by a routine in the call
         tree of this routine.

     14) If the 'ANGLES' specification is present in the kernel pool
         and the reference angle stored in the kernel pool to support
         the 'ANGLES' specification is absent from the kernel pool, an
         error is signaled by a routine in the call tree of this
         routine.

     15) If the keyword that stores the angular units for the angles
         used in the 'ANGLES' specification is absent from the kernel
         pool, an error is signaled by a routine in the call tree of
         this routine.

     16) If the value used for the units in the 'ANGLES' specification
         is not one of the supported angular units of CONVRT, an error
         is signaled by a routine in the call tree of this routine.

     17) If the keyword that stores the cross angle for the 'ANGLES'
         specification is needed and is absent from the kernel pool, an
         error is signaled by a routine in the call tree of this
         routine.

     18) If the angles for the 'RECTANGLE'/'ANGLES' specification case
         have cosines that are less than those stored in the parameter
         MINCOS defined in the GETFOV routine, an error is signaled by
         a routine in the call tree of this routine.

     19) If the class specification contains something other than
         'ANGLES' or 'CORNERS', an error is signaled by a routine in
         the call tree of this routine.

     20) In the event that the CLASS_SPEC keyword is absent from the
         kernel pool for the instrument whose FOV is sought, this
         module assumes the 'CORNERS' specification is to be utilized.

Files

     Appropriate SPICE kernels must be loaded by the calling program
     before this routine is called.

     This routine relies upon having successfully loaded an instrument
     kernel (IK file) via the routine FURNSH prior to calling this
     routine.

     The name INST must be associated with an NAIF ID code, normally
     through a frames kernel (FK file) or instrument kernel (IK file).

     Kernel data are normally loaded via FURNSH once per program run,
     NOT every time this routine is called.

Particulars

     This routine provides a common interface for retrieving from the
     kernel pool the geometric characteristics of an instrument field
     of view for a wide variety of remote sensing instruments
     across many different space missions.

     This routine is identical in function to the routine GETFOV except
     that it allows you to refer to an instrument by name (via a
     character string) instead of by its NAIF instrument ID.

     Given the NAIF instrument name, (and having "loaded" the
     instrument field of view description and instrument name to NAIF
     ID mapping) this routine returns the boresight of the instrument,
     the "shape" of the field of view, a collection of vectors
     that point along the edges of the field of view, and the
     name of the reference frame in which these vectors are defined.

     Currently this routine supports two classes of specifications
     for FOV definitions: "corners" and "angles".

     The "corners" specification requires that the following keywords
     defining the shape, boresight, boundary vectors, and reference
     frame of the FOV be provided in one of the text kernel files
     (normally an IK file) loaded into the kernel pool (in the
     keywords below <INSTID> is replaced with the instrument ID which
     corresponds to the INST name passed into the module):

        INS<INSTID>_FOV_CLASS_SPEC         must be set to 'CORNERS' or
                                           omitted to indicate the
                                           "corners"-class
                                           specification.

        INS<INSTID>_FOV_SHAPE              must be set to one of these
                                           values:

                                              'CIRCLE'
                                              'ELLIPSE'
                                              'RECTANGLE'
                                              'POLYGON'

        INS<INSTID>_FOV_FRAME              must contain the name of
                                           the frame in which the
                                           boresight and boundary
                                           corner vectors are defined.

        INS<INSTID>_BORESIGHT              must be set to a 3D vector
                                           defining the boresight in
                                           the FOV frame specified in
                                           the FOV_FRAME keyword.

        INS<INSTID>_FOV_BOUNDARY   or
        INS<INSTID>_FOV_BOUNDARY_CORNERS   must be set to one (for
                                           FOV_SHAPE = 'CIRCLE'), two
                                           (for FOV_SHAPE =
                                           'ELLIPSE'), four (for
                                           FOV_SHAPE = 'RECTANGLE'),
                                           or three or more (for
                                           'POLYGON') 3D vectors
                                           defining the corners of the
                                           FOV in the FOV frame
                                           specified in the FOV_FRAME
                                           keyword. The vectors should
                                           be listed in either
                                           clockwise or
                                           counterclockwise order.
                                           This is required by some
                                           SPICE routines that make
                                           use of FOV specifications.

     The "angles" specification requires the following keywords
     defining the shape, boresight, reference vector, reference and
     cross angular extents of the FOV be provided in one of the text
     kernel files (normally an IK file) loaded into the kernel
     pool (in the keywords below <INSTID> is replaced with the
     instrument ID which corresponds to the INST name passed into the
     module):

        INS<INSTID>_FOV_CLASS_SPEC         must be set to 'ANGLES' to
                                           indicate the "angles"-class
                                           specification.

        INS<INSTID>_FOV_SHAPE              must be set to one of these
                                           values:

                                              'CIRCLE'
                                              'ELLIPSE'
                                              'RECTANGLE'

        INS<INSTID>_FOV_FRAME              must contain the name of
                                           the frame in which the
                                           boresight and the computed
                                           boundary corner vectors are
                                           defined.

        INS<INSTID>_BORESIGHT              must be set to a 3D vector
                                           defining the boresight in
                                           the FOV frame specified in
                                           the FOV_FRAME keyword.

        INS<INSTID>_FOV_REF_VECTOR         must be set to a 3D vector
                                           that together with the
                                           boresight vector defines
                                           the plane in which the
                                           first angular extent of the
                                           FOV specified in the
                                           FOV_REF_ANGLE keyword is
                                           measured.

        INS<INSTID>_FOV_REF_ANGLE          must be set to the angle
                                           that is 1/2 of the total
                                           FOV angular extent in the
                                           plane defined by the
                                           boresight and the vector
                                           specified in the
                                           FOV_REF_VECTOR keyword. The
                                           the FOV angular half-extents
                                           are measured from the
                                           boresight vector.

        INS<INSTID>_FOV_CROSS_ANGLE        must be set to the angle
                                           that is 1/2 of the total
                                           FOV angular extent in the
                                           plane containing the
                                           boresight and perpendicular
                                           to the plane defined by the
                                           boresight and the vector
                                           specified in the
                                           FOV_REF_VECTOR keyword. The
                                           the FOV angular half-extents
                                           are measured from the
                                           boresight vector. This
                                           keyword is not required for
                                           FOV_SHAPE = 'CIRCLE'.

        INS<INSTID>_FOV_ANGLE_UNITS        must specify units for the
                                           angles given in the
                                           FOV_REF_ANGLE and
                                           FOV_CROSS_ANGLE keywords.
                                           Any angular units
                                           recognized by CONVRT are
                                           acceptable.

     The INS<INSTID>_FOV_REF_ANGLE and INS<INSTID>_FOV_CROSS_ANGLE
     keywords can have any values for the 'CIRCLE' and 'ELLIPSE'
     FOV shapes but must satisfy the condition COS( ANGLE ) > 0 for
     the 'RECTANGLE' shape.

     This routine is intended to be an intermediate level routine.
     It is expected that users of this routine will be familiar
     with the SPICE frames subsystem and will be comfortable writing
     software to further manipulate the vectors retrieved by this
     routine.

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) Load an IK, fetch the parameters for each of the FOVs defined
        within and print these parameters to the screen.

        Use the kernel shown below, an IK defining four FOVs of
        various shapes and sizes, to load the FOV definitions, and the
        mapping between their NAMES and NAIF IDs.

Restrictions

     1)  This routine will not operate unless proper mapping between
         the instrument name INST and a NAIF ID exists, an I-kernel for
         that instrument ID has been loaded via a call to FURNSH prior
         to calling this routine and this IK contains the specification
         for the instrument field of view consistent with the
         expectations of this routine.
