Dear Jeff, 2008/12/8 Jeff Whitaker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Mauro: I just updated SVN basemap so you can specify just lon_0 for all > cylindrical projections (cyl,gall,merc,mill) to get a global map centered on > lon_0 (implying > llcrnrlat=-90,urcrnrlat=90,llcrnrlon=lon_0-180,urcrnrlon=lon_0+180).
Excellent! Will however have to change my Basemap installation to the SVN repository. > No. Cylindrical projections can't cross the poles. Just figured this out, by trial-and-error. BTW, these explorations led me to comment that biogeographers (almost all of them biologists like myself) have seldom (or never!) paid attention to the question of map projections! This by itself should merit a scientific paper! So, Basemap may also be lending to scientific insights... Exciting, isn't it? More soon.... ;-) Best wishes, -- Dr. Mauro J.
