4 modules for users:

1. User Config
   • Whenever you run code that requires a dataset, RedPlanet will (1) check if the file is in your local cache and has the correct hash, and if not then (2) download the file.
   • You can specify various options like where the data is stored, how file integrity is checked, etc.
2. Datasets
   • There are 2 general types of datasets:
     1. Raster datasets (i.e. regular 2D grids, or "pixels"), where you must load a model before using the get function to access points/swaths of data. For implementation details, see src/redplanet/helper_functions/GriddedData.py.
        • Topography / DEM (Crust.topo)
        • Mohorovičić Discontinuity / Crustal Thickness (Crust.moho)
        • Bouguer Anomaly (Crust.boug)
        • Spherical Harmonic Models (Mag.sh)
        • Gamma-Ray Spectrometer (GRS) — this is a special case where no load function is needed, it's loaded upon first access.
     2. Point datasets, no need to load before use.
        • Craters (Craters)
        • Dichotomy (Crust.dichotomy)
        • Magnetic Source Depths (Mag.depth)
3. Analysis
   • Various analysis tools
4. Helper Functions
   • Miscellaneous convenience functions
