#
# This file defines the continuum resolution used by the code.
# It is designed to be edited by a person and allows any continuum
# resolution to be entered.
#
# the command
# set continuum resolution 
# proves a way to change the resolution of the entire continuum
# by a constant factor without editing this file.  This file
# provides a way to change the resolution of only parts of the
# continuum, and to change the default behavior of the code.
#
# if the continuum resolution is changed either with the
# set continuum command, or by changing this file, it will be necessary
# to recompile the stellar atmosphere and grain opacity files
#  
# Each line is an ordered pair of numbers,
# The first is the upper limit of an energy interval in Rydbergs
# and the second number is the resolution expressed as delta E/E.
# The code's execution time is pretty much set by the number of
# continuum points, so increasing the resolution will require more time.
#
# The numbers are interpreted as linear quantities unless negative,
# when they are assumed to be logs.
#
# There is no limit to the number of bounds since the arrays
# are dynamically allocated.
#
# this is the first range, and has a lower limit of the low-energy 
# bound of the code.  So the continuum will have a resolution of 0.1
# between the low-energy limit and 2e-5 Ryd.
0.00002  0.1
#
# the energy range 2e-5 to 600 ryd will have a resolution of 0.005
600.     0.005
#
# the last number must have an upper bound of zero, which is
# interpreted as the upper energy bound of the code
# so the energy range from 600 Ryd to the high-energy limit of the
# code will by 0.03
