Hi all
Well, I'm totally lost with this subject. What I'm trying to do is to map
the real world coordinates into a picture of a geographical map of Europe,
for plotting parallels, meridians and some other stuff.
Lets say we have a picture of Europe 800x600px and its real coordinates are:
72N -25W (upper left corner) and -18S 44E (bottom right corner). How do I
translate pixels to coordinates to draw on the map directly using real
coordinates?
I don't understand very well what matrices are, and how to apply with Gambas
syntax.
Any example or explanation on how to accomplish this project are welcome.
This is what I did so far in VB.net, but this is another history... :-)

Thanks,
Jesus
