copylabel

This application copys labels between cubes. Think long and hard before you use this program as there should hopefully be some way of doing what you want that doesn't require this. Be thoughtful and careful when using this program, it can be used to create cubes which are 100% invalid, incorrect, and wrong. This is especially true when the source file is not a cube but a simple Pvl.

With that out of the way, the label groups that can be copied by default are:

• Instrument
• Bandbin
• Kernels
• Mapping
• Radiometry

As well as the following blobs:

• Polygon
• CameraStatistics

By default, the blobs associated with Kernels are copied, if it is requested for kernels to be copied. The application also allows for and groups desired to be manually put in and copied, as well as any blobs that may exist in the source cube.

There are effectively three input sets that the program may be run on, those are:

• The SOURCE cube matchs FROM cube in dimensions
  • Limited safety checks can occur on this case regarding sizing.
• The SOURCE cube and FROM cube have matching sample and line scale
  • Safety checks can occur on this case. A very major assumption is made using this case, that is, that the cube data in both cubes has the same four corners, it is just scaled differently. This case makes an AlphaCube group to make the cube valid, if the above stated fact isn't true, the cube is entirely invalid.
• The SOURCE file is a pvl or lbl file.
  • No safety checks can be done in this case.

For the last details about how the program works, Groups are always expected to be inside an IsisCube Object, and Blobs to be copied always inside the base Pvl. The program will throw exceptions if it encounters conditions where it can't legitimately continue copying, however, in most cases it will run through. To do this, it makes several assumptions about desired behaviors. If a group or blob is requested, the application will try to copy it, if the application can't find the group, the app continues, if the group exists in the FROM cube, the app will delete it. For blobs, again, if the app can find it, the app will copy it over, if it can't be found, the app will continue.

Description

The cube which will be modified and have the labels copied into.

Type	cube
File Mode	input
Filter	*.cub

Description

The file which the labels will come from. If this file is a cube then some minimal safety checks will be performed. If it is not a cube, the desired groups must be in the IsisCube object. Blobs will not be copied if it is just a label file.

Type	cube
File Mode	input
Filter	*.cub *.lbl *.pvl

Description

Copy the Instrument group over, can only be copied if sample and line counts are equal or of equal scale.

Type	boolean
Default	TRUE

Description

Copy the BandBin group over, can only be copied if the number of bands matches.

Type	boolean
Default	TRUE

Description

Copy the Kernels group over as well as the four table blobs usually associated with it, those are InstrumentPointing, InstrumentPosition, SunPosition, and BodyRotation. They will only be copied if they exist. Obviously these blobs can only be copied if SOURCE is a cube.

Type	boolean
Default	TRUE

Description

Copy the Mapping group over, can only be done when the cubes rae the same size or have matching scaling factors.

Type	boolean
Default	TRUE

Description

Copy the Radiometry group over, if the image data isn't the same between the two cubes, the data stored in the Radiometry group will be completely invalid.

Type	boolean
Default	TRUE

Description

Copy the Polygon blob over, if the input file is a cube and has a Polygon blob.

Type	boolean
Default	TRUE

Description

Copy the CameraStatistics blob over, if the input file is a cube and has a CameraStatistics blob.

Type	boolean
Default	TRUE

Description

Copy and given groups over to the FROM cube, groups must exist in the IsisCube Object to be copied, and must be specified with exact spelling, comma separated.

Type	string
Internal Default	none

Description

Copy over the given Blobs to the FROM cube, blobs must be specified in the following format: <Object name>:Name keyword comma separated. For example, Table:CameraStatistics,... would do the same as the above CAMSTATS option.

Type	string
Internal Default	none
