In RavenR: Raven Hydrological Modelling Framework R Support and Analysis

#' @title Generate Blank Raven SubBasin DataFrame
#'
#' @description
#' Generates a blank data frame for Raven subbasin properties. Compatible with \code{\link{rvn_rvh_write}}.
#'
#' @param nSubBasins Number of SubBasins in model, used to determine number of rows in table (default = 1)
#'
#' @return data.frame of blank SubBasin properties to be filled in by user
#' @author Leland Scantlebury
#'
#' @details
#' The subbasin names are provided as 'sub00x', where x is the basin ID. The padding is determined
#' from the number of subbasins. The downstream IDs are generated to assume a linear downstream progression,
#' with an outlet at the terminal subbasin ID, which can be modified after the data frame is created.
#'
#' @seealso \code{\link{rvn_rvh_blankHRUdf}} to generate blank HRU data frame
