   try to run it!
   The 3d structure is the standard structure that contains all information
   necessary to do data analysis on a particle distribution function.
   The following is an example structure obtained from the WIND data set:

    "GET_EHS","GET_SF","GET_SO","GET_SFB","GET_SOB"

  For the GIOTTO data set:
    "GET_GI"

  For the CLUSTER data set:
    In Progress....

  For the FAST data set:
    In Progress....

Once the 3d structure is obtained then it can be displayed with the following
routines:
    "SPEC3D", "PLOT3D", "CONT3D"

The following routines are useful for manipulating the data:
    "CONV_UNITS", "CONVERT_VFRAME", "PAD"

               c = (a^2 + b^2)^.5 = L*e/(e^2-1) = 83.8
               a = L/(e^2-1) = 72.87
               b = L/(e^2-1)^.5 = 41.38
PURPOSE:
	Function returns a structure that describes the interaction of a B-field
	with a hyperboloid bow shock model.
	Returned structure elements include:
		th_bn: the angle (in degrees) between shock normal and the
			field line that passes through the spacecraft

			bow shock.  A postive d means that the field
			line has already intersected the shock.  A positive
			m indicates that the field line has not yet
			intersected the shock.
		intpos: position vector in GSE of point where field line
			originating at spacecraft intersects bow shock

PROCEDURE:  edit3dbins,dat,bins
PURPOSE:   Interactive procedure to produce a bin array for selectively 
    turning angle bins on and off.  Works on a 3d structure (see 
    "3D_STRUCTURE" for more info)

INPUT:
   dat:  3d data structure.  (will not be altered)
   bins:  a named variable in which to return the results.
KEYWORDS:
   EBINS:     Specifies energy bins to plot.

              SUM_EBINS is a scaler, that number of bins is summed for
              each bin in EBINS.  If SUM_EBINS is an array, then each
              array element will hold the number of bins to sum starting
              at each bin in EBINS.  In the array case, EBINS and SUM_EBINS
              must have the same number of elements.

NAME:
  PLOT3D
PROCEDURE: plot3d, dat , latitude, longitude
PURPOSE:  
  Draws a series of 3d color plots, one plot per energy step.
INPUT:
  dat:  3d data structure.
  latitude:  latitude of center of plot
  longitude:  longitude of center of plot
KEYWORDS:
   EBINS:     Specifies energy bins to plot.
   SUM_EBINS: Specifies how many bins to sum, starting with EBINS.  If
              SUM_EBINS is a scaler, that number of bins is summed for
              each bin in EBINS.  If SUM_EBINS is an array, then each
              array element will hold the number of bins to sum starting
              at each bin in EBINS.  In the array case, EBINS and SUM_EBINS
              must have the same number of elements.
   BNCENTER:  if > 0 then lat,lon set so that B direction is in center
              if < 0 then lat,lon set so that -B direction is in center
              ('magf' element must exist in dat structure. See "ADD_MAGF")
   BINS:    bins to use for autoscaling.
   SMOOTH:  smoothing parameter.  0=none,  2 is typical

   CO_LATITUDE:   If set theta will be in co-latitude. (0<=theta<=180)
   PH_0_360:      If set positive, 0<=phi<=360, if zero, -180<=phi<=180.

x = findgen(100)
y = 2*x
z = x-20
vecs = [[x],[y],[z]]
xyz_to_polar,vecs,mag=mag      ;mag will be the magnitude of the array.

     Passing a structure:
dat = {ytitle:'Vector',x:findgen(100),y:vecs}
xyz_to_polar,dat,mag=mag,theta=th,phi=ph
mag,th and ph will be all be structures.

     Passing a string:  (see store_data, get_data)
xyz_to_polar,'Vp'   ; This assumes data has been created for this string.
