Sedflux Key-File

Many of the (ascii) input files for sedflux are of a common format. I'll often refer to them as sedflux key-files. They are plain text files that define a series of groups. Each group then contains a series of key-value pairs. A group begins with its name surrounded by braces and ends at the begining of the next group.

The key-value pairs then follow, one per line. They consist of a parameter name (or key), follows by a colon, and then the value. As an example, a valid group looks like,

[ global ]
vertical resolution (m):   0.05
x resolution (m):          10000
y resolution (m):          100
In this example, we've defined a group called global. For this group, we've set the values for three parameters. There can be any number of groups or key-value pairs per file. In fact, the same group name can appear in the same file more than once. The data are not overwritten but a new instance of the group created. However, in some instances it may not make sense to have multiple occurances of a group.
