\texttt{NI} specifies the number of intervals on a main triangle side.
\subsubsection*{HEALPix grid: \texttt{hp<NSIDE>[b][\_<ORDER>]}}
HEALPix is an acronym for Hierarchical Equal Area isoLatitude Pixelization of a sphere.
HEALPix is an acronym for Hierarchical Equal Area isoLatitude Pixelization of a sphere. \\
\texttt{hp<NSIDE>[b][\_<ORDER>]} defines a global HEALPix grid.
The resolution is defined by the NSIDE parameter, which is generally a power of 2.
NSIZE=1 generates the HEALPix base partitioning of the sphere surface into 12 (H=4, K=3) equal sized pixels.
\texttt{ORDER} describes the ordering of the pixels. Available are nest (default) or ring ordering.
The \texttt{NSIDE} parameter controls the resolution of the pixellization.
It is the number of pixels on the side of each of the 12 top-level HEALPix pixels.
\texttt{NSIDE=1} generates the 12 (H=4, K=3) equal sized top-level HEALPix pixels.
\texttt{ORDER} sets the index ordering convention of the pixels, available are \texttt{ring} (default) or \texttt{nest} ordering.
If the parameter \texttt{b} is set, the grid cell corners are also calculated.
