I am attempting to use the mcidas meteosat navigation module

The documentation is obscure.

1. Sometimes Mcidas lists longitude positive to the west.
2. line and elemement numbers are interchangable in some sence since the
Meteosat 7
        satellite is at 0 longitude.
3. Line numbers could count from south to north or north to south.
Similarly element
        numbers could count either increasing to the west (as the
satellite scans) or
        increasing to the east (as a picture would show).

Has anyone used edu.wisc.ssec.mcidas.MSATnav?

What convention do you use for latitude and longitude/  line and element
in the routines calls to toLatLon and toLinEle.
