Hi, I've attempted what I thought was the quick and dirty solution to my Lambert map projection problem given my limited understanding of visad.CoordinateSystem. My attempts to use visad.data.hdfeos.LambertConformalConic in a way similar to PolarCoordinateSystem in Test11 was not fruitful so I took the following approach: construct my terrain field: (lon,lat) -> alt construct a visad.data.hdfeos.LambertConformalConic extract the samples of my domain set and run them through LambertConformalConic.fromReference() thus creating a new domain set of (x,y). construct a field on this new set assigning the original alt values. display mapping x and y to the Axes. The results are promising - it looks like a Lambert projection, but the rendering is flakey. I've linked a "before" and "after" image. ftp://ftp.rap.ucar.edu/incoming/lam1.gif ftp://ftp.rap.ucar.edu/incoming/lam2.gif Is there something fundamentally wrong with what I'm trying to do or is there a bug in the transform or the rendering? I'll throw together some sample code if it helps.
