2. Category: Plasma magnetic fields
3. Responsible Scientist: Bas Braams
4. Others involved in code development: None
5. One line description: Subroutines to evaluate toroidal harmonic functions.
6. Computer systems which code runs on: Any.
7. Typical running time (if applicable): Trivial.
8. Approximate number of code lines: 500
9. Does this code read data files from another code? No.
10. Does this code produce data files that can be read by another code? No.
11. 1-2 paragraph description of code: This is a family of subroutines to evaluate toroidal harmonics. These functions arise in the expansion of a vacuum magnetic field in toroidal coordinates. They are related to the Legendre functions P^m_{n-1/2} and Q^m_{n-1/2} of integer order and half-odd degree. The method is due to Fettis. Henry E. Fettis: "A New Method for Computing Toroidal Harmonics", Mathematics of Computation 24 (1970) 667-670.
