<p>Compute all the 4-pi (geodesy) normalized Legendre polynomials.</p>
<h1 id="usage">Usage</h1>
<p>call PlBar (<code>p</code>, <code>lmax</code>, <code>z</code>, <code>exitstatus</code>)</p>
<h1 id="parameters">Parameters</h1>
<dl>
<dt><code>p</code> : output, real/*8, dimension (<code>lmax</code>+1)</dt>
<dd>An array of geodesy-normalized Legendre polynomials up to degree <code>lmax</code>. Degree <code>l</code> corresponds to array index <code>l+1</code>.
</dd>
<dt><code>lmax</code> : input, integer</dt>
<dd>The maximum degree of the Legendre polynomials to be computed.
</dd>
<dt><code>z</code> : input, real/*8</dt>
<dd>The argument of the Legendre polynomial.
</dd>
<dt><code>exitstatus</code> : output, optional, integer</dt>
<dd>If present, instead of executing a STOP when an error is encountered, the variable exitstatus will be returned describing the error. 0 = No errors; 1 = Improper dimensions of input array; 2 = Improper bounds for input variable; 3 = Error allocating memory; 4 = File IO error.
</dd>
</dl>
<h1 id="description">Description</h1>
<p><code>PlBar</code> will calculate all of the 4-pi (geodesy) normalized Legendre polynomials up to degree <code>lmax</code> for a given argument. These are calculated using a standard three-term recursion formula. The integral of the geodesy-normalized Legendre polynomials over the interval [-1, 1] is 2.</p>
