You may also be trying to undo the spherical component of the mapping. USGS maps, and most maps in general are on a spherical plane usually, sometimes on a modification of the mercator projection. This may be something that the gimp coders could add, a 'de-sphericalizer'. Make the user put in the 1/xxxxxx ratio as shown on the map and use that to calculate what to do. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
