WXPers,

I'm trying to generate large-ish (ideally 1280x986) images for display on
large screens our department recently bought.  One of the images I wanted to
put up was a global satellite view.  Using the command:

xsat  -ge=1280x968 -if=sat_ir_g -cu=la -de=d

I get the data and the map plotted in separate parts of the plot, as seen
in:

Is this a limitation of the global satellite files that come in off the IDD
or is there something I can do to force it to work?


Thanks,
BC
