setInitialPoint

public static void setInitialPoint(J3Line axis,
                                   IceCubeCoordinate iceCube)

isInsideEarth

public static boolean isInsideEarth(J3Vector r_center,
                                    IceCubeCoordinate iceCube,
                                    EarthCenterCoordinate center,
                                    Volume outVol,
                                    int flag)

Check if the particle location represented by EarthCenter coordinate is inside the earth. This 'earth' contains glacier of the the Antarctica.

        J3Vector r_center  :  Prarticle location defined by EarthCenterCoordinate
        iceCubeCoordinate iceCube  : The IceCube local coordinate
        EarthCenterCoordinate center : The Earth center coordinate
        Volume outVol : The outside volume - If the partile is outside this volume
                        AND the flag is 1, the particle is considered to be "outside"
                        the earth and may stop its tracking.
        int flag     :  control flag - when 1, then the volume outVol is involved.
