Source code: spice_object.pro

Description

This function returns a SPICE_DATA or a SPICE_DATA_L3 object, depending on the input. If the input is a string, the function assumes that the input is a path to a SPICE FITS file, and tries to return either a SPICE_DATA or a SPICE_DATA_L3 object. If input is not a string, the function checks whether the input is one of these two objects, the result of this check is returned in IS_SPICE. The input is returned unaltered.
