The data structure JVOLUM and JGPAR

The meaning of the variables in the data structure JVOLUM shown in fig. gif is the following:

ISEARC
search flag [GEOM400], [GEOM410]:
=0
volume positioning order or ordering by GSNEXT/GSNEAR;
<0
binary search as defined by GSORD;
>0
user ordering GSUNEA/GUNEAR;
ISHAPE
system shape number (see [GEOM050];
NIN
number of volumes contained in the mother volume -- if negative the volume is divided;
NMED
medium number for the volume;
NPAR
number of shape parameters;
NATT
number of attributes;
PAR
array of shape parameters;
IAT
array of attributes;
IAXIS
direction of the division (see [GEOM130]);
IVO
system volume number;
NDIV
number of divisions ( -NDVMX, if computed dynamically, see [GEOM140]);
C0
coordinate value at which the division starts;
STEP
coordinate step for the division;
NR
user copy number;
IROT
rotation matrix number defining the orientation of the volume with respect to the mother reference system;
X,Y,Z
position of the volume with respect to the mother reference system;
KONLY
ONLY/MANY flag, see [GEOM110] for more information;
