Ben, I seem to recall having a similar problem several years ago. I think that it is a function of the data which seems to have a native resolution of 640x350 as far as WXP is concerned (but I am not sure). Our solution was to create a 640x480 image and then use the "convert" utility to increase the size. $outfile1 was our 640x480 image and $outfile2 contains1024x768 /usr/local/bin/convert -geometry 1024x768 $outfile1 $outfile2 $outfile1 was our 640x480 image and $outfile2 contains1024x768 It does a respectable job, but it's not perfect. We display it on a 42" plasma screen and it's not bad. Jim ****************************************************************************** James P.

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: http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~bcotton/mollweide.gif 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 P.S.
