\description{
  Several constants are provided that might make
  the use of some functions easier, e.g. \command{\link{RFgetModelNames}}
}

  \code{RC_TYPE = c("tail correlation function", "positive definite",
    "negative definite", "process", 
    "method for Gauss processes", "method for Brown-Resnick processes",

  \code{RC_ISOTROPIC} gives the numerical code for option
  \code{"isotropic"}

  
  \code{RC_SPACEISOTROPIC} gives the numerical code for option
  \code{"space-isotropic"}

  \code{RC_CARTESIAN_COORD} gives the numerical code for option
  \code{"cartesian system"}
