Constant declarations

The initial settings at compile time are the following:

LINERR 0.001: Maximum `` error'', in terms of the width of the thinnest annulus, which allows one to represent/approximate a circle by a line.

PIXERR 0.1: Maximum `` error'', in terms of the width of the thinnest annulus, which allows one to consider two border equivalents. It is only relevant for determining the LUT frequency range validity.

PIXELFACTORX 2: Width of the thinnest annulus in terms of pixels (x-direction).

PIXELFACTORY 2: Width of the thinnest annulus in terms of pixels (y-direction).

VEPI 1.0e-06: Earth epicycle velocity divided by the light velocity $c$. TO BE CHANGED DEPENDING ON THE DETECTOR.

VTOT 1.0e-04: Earth total velocity divided by $c$. TO BE CHANGED DEPENDING ON THE DETECTOR.

SIDEX (100* PIXELFACTORX),

SIDEY (100* PIXELFACTORY): The maximun number of pixels in a given patch is SIDEX$\times$SIDEY. These numbers should be integers. They come from assuming that: the `longitudinal' patch size is $dF*10^6/f_0$, where $10^6 = c/v_{epicycle}$, the thinnest possible annulus is $dF*10^4/f_0$, where $10^4 = c/v_{tot}$. Therefore, the ratio (longitudinal patch size)/(width thinnest annuli) = 100 (100 TO BE CHANGED DEPENDING ON THE DETECTOR).

MAX_N_BINS 150: Maximun number of frequency bins that can affect a patch.

MAX_N_BORDERS 208: Maximun number of borders in a patch.

Note several of these constants will be removed in a next release. They are used only for tiling the sky-patch or as default parameters in the test codes.
