Good Morning Listers, I apologise for cross posting.
We have a MAPublisher user who needs to use the MAPublisher Projection Editor to
create the vector graphics for a globe.
What he will do is divide the earth into an octahedron. He has vector
information for the earth and he will use MAPublisher to project the vectors for
each of the eight sections using the Projection Editor, then print each section
to be attached to his globes. He has a mathematical projection that he needs
converted to a geographic projection, the numerical values of which he can plug
in to the MAPublisher Projection Editor.
We need some help converting his mathematical projection to a geographic
projection, and we are once again looking for a Projection Guru to help us.
We have some more information available in gif format, please contact me
directly if you would like to help with this problem and I will give you all the
information we have.
For people interested in the solution, I will post it to the lists once we get a
work flow together.
Thank you,
Susan
