You also can apply cartographic projections. See http://www.research.ibm.com/dx/bonuspak/html/bonuspak222.html http://www.research.ibm.com/dx/bonuspak/applications/cartography/
Here's an ancient example of using these ideas for such data (not a well-reproduced image, but you'll get the idea): http://www.research.ibm.com/dx/bonuspak/gallery/space/radio_sphere.gif Tom Goodale <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>@opendx.watson.ibm.com on 08/17/2001 07:40:33 AM Please respond to [email protected] Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: <[email protected]> cc: Subject: Re: [opendx-general] Spherical input data Hi, You can convert the coordinates within your dx network by marking the "positions" component with the "Mark" module, then using the "Compute" module to convert the coordinates, and finally "UnMark"ing them. I have a network which does this for polar coords if you want an example.
