    Converts NAIF DSK plate model to ISIS format
  
 
          Description
        
      This application will convert a NAIF DSK plate model to an ISIS cube.
      Users must  provide a valid map file to use for allocation of the ISIS
      cube.  The scale and type of projection determine the size of the output
      cube.

                         Description
                       
          This parameter provides the name of the NAIF DSK file to convert to
          ISIS format.  It is assumed to be in body fixed coordinates from which
          intersections for each output map grid point will be computed using
          NAIF's DSK toolkit.

            This paramter provides the name of a file containing a valid map
            projection defintion. One can use the ISIS maptemplate application
            to create a map template.

                This parameter provides two different methods to compute the
                output radius value for a given latitude, longitude map grid
                point.

| RAY | 
                        Ray intersection from image pixel location to DEM
                     | 
                        Calculates an intercept location on the (irregularly
                        shaped) body from the observer point (i.e., image pixel
                        location) and look (or ray) direction
                     | 
 
| GRID | 
                        Calculate using surface point latitude, longitude grid
                        point
                     | 
                         The radius value of the DEM is determined at the
                         intercept point of the triaxial ellipsoid from the
                         center of the body. This method extends the surface (x,
                         y, z) body fixed coordinate of the ellisoid by
                         extending the vector by a factor of 1.5.  This creates
                         the obsever point.  The direction vector is then the
                         negation of the observer point.  From this, a DEM
                         surface intercept point is determined.
