    This program, phocube, creates backplane bands that contain photometric, geometric, and

    There are instances where the local emission angle and the local incidence angle will have 
    values over 90 degrees.  ISIS allows the computation of emission and incidence angles greater 
    than 90 degrees.   This feature allows representation of viewing and illumination conditions 
    where there is actual target body surface data beyond the limb or deep terminator boundary 
    areas.  Applications such as photomet that applies photometric functions honor the 90 degree 
    boundary.    Applications such as photrim can be applied to the phocube output to replace the 
    angle values above 90 degrees to NULL.  There are certain processes that need these data, 
    therefore it is allowed.
