SHAPE (SEED Header Assembly and Preparation Engine)
A Dataless SEED Building Tool

SHAPE is a tool for easily building Dataless SEED volumes. What differentiates SHAPE from other Dataless SEED building tools, is that the input to SHAPE is also the normal human readable representation of the Dataless volumes themselves. In other words, the input and the output are (essentially) the same format, making it easy to correct mistakes in the final product with a simple text editor.

The inputs to SHAPE are response text files in RESP format, where RESP format is the format used by the IRIS programs for response evaluation (evalresp, jevalresp, and jplotresp), and are typically generated from SEED volumes via the IRIS rdseed program. So if a user wants to correct a field in a dataless volumes (say location of a single station), one only needs to convert the dataless into RESP files using rdseed, edit the location in a text editor, and recreate the dataless from the modified RESP files using SHAPE.
