Globe Gores

Description

With this tool you can easily create globe gores from a (global) grid data set. The tool uses a polyconic projection for each gore and plots all gores side by side into one target grid. Target grid resolution is specified as number of pixels (cells) in meridional direction. The target grid is not suitable for further geoprocessing, but is thought to serve as print template for the creation of globes, i.e. to become glued onto a ball.

Parameters

	Name	Type	Identifier	Description	Constraints
Input	Grid	grid, input	`GRID`	-	-
Output	Gores	data object Grid, output, optional	`GORES`	-	-
Options	Grid System	grid system	`PARAMETERS_GRID_SYSTEM`	-	-
	Number of Gores	integer number	`NUMBER`	-	Minimum: 2 Maximum: 360 Default: 12
	Bleed	floating point number	`BLEED`	Overlap of gores given as percentage of the gore width.	Minimum: 0.000000 Maximum: 10.000000 Default: 0.000000
	Resolution	integer number	`RESOLUTION`	Number of cells/pixels from pole to pole (i.e. in North-South direction).	Minimum: 100 Default: 1000
	Bytewise Interpolation	boolean	`BYTEWISE`	To be used for RGB and CMYK coded values (i.e. images).	Default: 0
