import_rtheta

Create a polar coordinate .pf file from a windsave2table file.

Read the master file produced by windsave2table for a rtheta (polar-coordinate mode model and produce a file to be read by import in python

Command line usage (if any):

usage: import_rtheta.py rootname

e.g rtheta to read a the master.txt table

rtheta.0.master.txt

Description:

This routine allows one to create examples of files that can be imported into Sirocco. It is intended to be useful for creating examples, and for regression testing

Primary routines:

doit

Notes

Windsave2table saves the values of rho in the CMF frame, but Sirocco expects models to be in the observer frame so this routine corrects for this.
