NAME: EXTREMA PURPOSE: This function returns the locations of the local extrema in a given time series. CATEGORY: Time Series Analysis CALLING SEQUENCE: Result = EXTREMA( Data ) INPUTS: Data: A vector of type integer or floating point. KEYWORD PARAMETERS: FLAT: If set, all locations along broad flat extrema are returned. The default is for only the middle location to be returned. ENDS: If set, end points are always returned as extrema. The default is to return the end points only if they lie outside the next minimum and maximum. OPTIONAL OUTPUTS: MAXIMA: Returns the locations of the maxima. MINIMA: Returns the locations of the minima. OUTPUTS: Result: Returns the locations of the extrema. PROCEDURE: For each point, neighbouring values are compared to see if the given point is an extremum. EXAMPLE: Define a vector. data = [1,2,3,2] Find the local maxima. result = extrema( data ) The result should be [ 0, 2 ]. MODIFICATION HISTORY: Written by: Daithi A. Stone (stoned@atm.ox.ac.uk), 2003-10-09.

mvn_cylplot_panel_brain.pro
Procedure to create a 2D cylindrical projection plot for a MAVEN spaecraft
trajectory.
Syntax:
trange = mvn_cylplot_panel_brain, trange, res
Inputs:
trange - 2-elelment timerange over which to plot the
trajectory
res - The time resolution to use when plotting
[xy]range - 2-element bounds for the plot, in
Rm. Default = [-3,3]
showperiapsis - Boolean: Indicate the location of
periapsis. Default = not set
showticks - Indicate regular intervals (centered on
periapsis) along the trajectory. Default =
not set
tickinterval - The interval at which to show ticks, in
seconds. Default = 600
symsize - Symbol size to use for the
trajectory. Sizes of periapsis, interval
ticks, crustal fields all scale from
this. Default = 1.
charsize - Character size to use for plot
axes. Default = 1
noerase - Boolean, default = 0. Setting to 1
indicates that and plot currently on the
plot device should not be erased.
Dependencies:
1. Berkeley MAVEN software
2. ctload.pro - routine from David Fanning (coyote) to load
color tables, including Brewer colors.
3. colorscale.pro - Dave Brain version of bytscl.pro
Comments:
1. This was developed for use with a single orbit
trajectory. I'm not sure how it would work with
something larger.
2. This routine acts on tplot variables loaded using
mvn_load_eph_brain.pro. If it doesn't find them, it
will load them.

mvn_load_eph_brain.pro
Procedure to create tplot variables containing ephemeris information
at a given time resolution over a given range. I realize
there's a routine for this in the Berkeley distribution. I

something when I found it.

mvn_orbit_survey_plot_ephemeris
Routine to create an ephemeris survey plot with 6 different panels,
given a single timestamp. The plot is for the entire orbit
containing that timestamp
Syntax: mvn_orbit_survey_plot_ephemeris, time, fileroot, screen=screen
Inputs:
time - any UTC timestamp, as string or double precision
fileroot - the name of the file, without extension
(i.e. no '.jpg' at the end)
screen - boolean keyword to send the output to the
screen; used for testing. Default = 0
overlay - Structure describing the image/data to be
overlaid on the sphere of Mars. Contains
the following tags:
LAT: N-element array of latitudes of each
point to be painted on the sphere.
ELON: N-element array of East longitudes
of each point to be painted on the sphere
DATA: N-element array of values
(e.g. brightnesses etc.) to be painted on
the sphere
COLOR_TABLE: which color table is wanted
for the overlay
LOG: 0 or 1 for whether the data should be
plotted with a logarithmic color scale
RANGE: the color scale range for the data
OBSPOS: in the case of images of Mars
captured by orbital assets, this is the
position of the "camera", in Cartesian
coordinates.
DESCRIPTION: a string, briefly describing
what is being overlaid on the
sphere. Ideally this should be less than
20 characters
FILENAME: if the image comes from a
particular file
obspos: pos, description:disk [0, 0].bands[band_index], $
Filename:file, time: time}
Dependencies:
There are many code dependencies here, not including the
obvious dependency on Berkeley's MAVEN software. I haven't had
time to compile a complete list, but here's a partial
list of code by Dave Brain that is needed to run this routine:
mvn_get_orbit_times_brain.pro - gets start/stop times for orbit
mvn_load_eph_brain.pro - loads ephemeris info into tplot vars
mvn_orbproj_panel_brain.pro - makes a projection plot
mvn_cylplot_panel_brain.pro - makes a cylindrical coords plot
mvn_groundtrack_panel_brain.pro - makes a groundtrack
mvn_threed_projection_panel_brain.pro - makes a 3D projection
ps_set.pro - establishes a postscript plot
plotposn.pro - positions a plot
cleanup.pro - resets plotting system variables
colorscale.pro - Dave Brain version of bytscl.pro
ctload.pro - Dave Fanning (coyote) version of loadct, with
brewer color mode enabled.
Caution:
1. VERY IMPORTANT! Three of the routines contain a hard link to a
file containing crustal field information. This link needs to be
edited for the location of the file on your machine.
Please check header comments for:
mvn_orbproj_panel_brain.pro
mvn_groundtrack_panel_brain.pro
mvn_threed_projection_panel_brain.pro
2. This routine make use of the ImageMagick "convert" utility,
installed on Dave's machine. This step is used when
converting the .eps file producded by the program into a .jpg
file. If you don't have "convert", simply comment out
the lines below that create the .jpg and remove the .eps
files. (lines ~219-223, right under ;;;Cleanup)
3. This is optimized to work on Dave's machine. No
guarantees about your machine!

RETURN VALUE:
The return value is whatever is appropriate for passing along
to the PSYM keyword of (for example) a PLOT or OPLOT command.
For the vast majority of the symbols, the return value is 8.
KEYWORDS:
None.
MODIFICATION HISTORY:
Written by David W. Fanning, 2 September 2006. Loosely based on the
program MC_SYMBOL introduced on the IDL newsgroup 1 September 2006,
and MPI_PLOTCONFIG__DEFINE from the Coyote Library.
2 October 2006. DWF. Modified to allow PSYM=8 and PSYM=10 to have
their normal meanings. This shifted previous symbols by two values
from their old meanings. For example, an hourglass went from symbol
number 19 to 21.
