Crater profiles¶

Chosen by "type" in profile.

Type	What it is
`fassett_thomson`	Fresh simple-crater profile of Fassett and Thomson (2014), with synthterrain's variants.
`martin_parkes_dunstan`	Simple-crater profile of Martin, Parkes and Dunstan (2014), developed for the PANGU simulator; degradation rounds its rim.
`complex`	A simple profile below the body's simple-to-complex transition, and complex craters with flat floors and central peaks above it.
