CSPICE_SRFS2C translates a surface string, together with a body string,
to the corresponding surface ID code. The input strings may contain
names or integer ID codes.
Given:
srfstr a string designating a surface.
[1,c1] = size(srfstr); char = class(srfstr)
or
[1,1] = size(srfstr); cell = class(srfstr)
`srfstr' may contain a surface name or a string
representation of the surface's integer ID code.
If, for the body specified by `bodstr', multiple surface
names are associated with one surface ID code, then any
of these names may be used as the value of `srfstr'.
Case and leading and trailing blanks in a surface name
are not significant. Sequences of consecutive embedded
blanks are considered equivalent to a single blank.
For example, all of the strings below are considered
to be equivalent:
'MGS MOLA 128 PIXEL/DEG'
'MGS MOLA 128 pixel/deg'
'MGS MOLA 128 PIXEL/DEG '
'MGS MOLA 128 PIXEL/DEG'
' MGS MOLA 128 PIXEL/DEG'
However,
'MGSMOLA 128PIXEL/DEG'
is not equivalent to the names above.
bodstr a string designating the body associated with the input
surface string.
[1,c2] = size(bodstr); char = class(bodstr)
or
[1,1] = size(bodstr); cell = class(bodstr)
`bodstr' may contain a body name or a string representation
of the body's integer ID code. For example, `bodstr' may
contain
'1000012'
instead of
'67P/CHURYUMOV-GERASIMENKO (1969 R1)'
Case and leading and trailing blanks in a name are not
significant. The treatment of blanks in `bodstr' is the
same as for `srfstr'.
the call:
[code, found] = cspice_srfs2c( srfstr, bodstr )
returns:
code integer ID code of the surface designated by `srfstr', for
the body designated by `bodstr', if for this body an
association exists between the input surface string and a
surface ID code.
[1,1] = size(code); int32 = class(code)
`code' is defined if and only if the output flag `found' is
true
found a logical flag that is true if a surface code corresponding
to the input strings was found and false otherwise.
[1,1] = size(found); logical = class(found)
None.
Any numerical results shown for this example may differ between
platforms as the results depend on the SPICE kernels used as input
and the machine specific arithmetic implementation.
1) Supposed a text kernel has been loaded that contains
the following assignments:
NAIF_SURFACE_NAME += ( 'MGS MOLA 64 pixel/deg',
'MGS MOLA 128 pixel/deg',
'PHOBOS GASKELL Q512' )
NAIF_SURFACE_CODE += ( 1, 2, 1 )
NAIF_SURFACE_BODY += ( 499, 499, 401 )
Translate each surface and body ID code pair to the
associated surface name. Also perform a translation
for a surface ID having no matching name.
Use the meta-kernel shown below to define the required SPICE
kernel variables.

When this program was executed on a Mac/Intel/Octave6.x/64-bit
platform, the output was:
surface string = MGS MOLA 64 pixel/deg
body string = MARS
surface ID found = true
surface ID = 1
surface string = PHOBOS GASKELL Q512
body string = PHOBOS
surface ID found = true
surface ID = 1
surface string = MGS MOLA 128 pixel/deg
body string = MARS
surface ID found = true
surface ID = 2
surface string = MGS MOLA 64 pixel/deg
body string = 499
surface ID found = true
surface ID = 1
surface string = 1
body string = PHOBOS
surface ID found = true
surface ID = 1
surface string = 2
body string = 499
surface ID found = true
surface ID = 2
surface string = ZZZ
body string = MARS
surface ID found = false
surface string = 1
body string = ZZZ
surface ID found = false
Surfaces are always associated with bodies (which usually are
ephemeris objects). For any given body, a mapping between surface
names and surface ID codes can be established.
Bodies serve to disambiguate surface names and ID codes: the set
of surface names and surface ID codes for a given body can be
thought of as belonging to a name space. A given surface ID code
or surface name may be used for surfaces of multiple bodies,
without conflict.
Associations between surface names and ID codes are always made
via kernel pool assignments; there are no built-in associations.
cspice_srfs2c is one of four related subroutines:
cspice_srfs2c Surface string and body string to surface ID code
cspice_srfscc Surface string and body ID code to surface ID code
cspice_srfc2s Surface ID code and body ID code to surface string
cspice_srfcss Surface ID code and body string to surface string
cspice_srfs2c, cspice_srfc2s, cspice_srfscc, and cspice_srfcss perform
translations between surface strings and their corresponding integer
ID codes.
Refer to naif_ids.req for details concerning adding new surface
name/code associations at run time by loading text kernels.
1) If the input surface string does not map to an ID code
and does not represent an integer, the output `code' is
undefined and the output `found' is set to false.
This case is not treated as an error.
2) If the input body string does not map to an ID code and does
not represent an integer, the output `code' is undefined and
the output `found' is set to false.
This case is not treated as an error.
3) If any of the input arguments, `srfstr' or `bodstr', is
undefined, an error is signaled by the Matlab error handling
system.
4) If any of the input arguments, `srfstr' or `bodstr', is not of
the expected type, or it does not have the expected dimensions
and size, an error is signaled by the Mice interface.
Surface name-to-ID mappings may be defined at run time by loading
text kernels containing kernel variable assignments of the form
NAIF_SURFACE_NAME += ( <surface name 1>, ... )
NAIF_SURFACE_CODE += ( <surface code 1>, ... )
NAIF_SURFACE_BODY += ( <body code 1>, ... )
Above, the ith elements of the lists on the assignments' right
hand sides together define the ith surface name/ID mapping.
The same effect can be achieved using assignments formatted as
follows:
NAIF_SURFACE_NAME += <surface name 1>
NAIF_SURFACE_CODE += <surface code 1>
NAIF_SURFACE_BODY += <body code 1>
NAIF_SURFACE_NAME += <surface name 2>
NAIF_SURFACE_CODE += <surface code 2>
NAIF_SURFACE_BODY += <body code 2>
...
Note the use of the
+=
operator; this operator appends to rather than overwrites the
kernel variable named on the left hand side of the assignment.
None.
