John, Elliott, Patrick,
Just a comment...
When I start up CdC, and display the azimuth "meridians" (the
vertical arcs), I find that most typically the meridians are offset
from the true NSEW positions by some number of degrees, depending on
the grid resolution; and that rarely do do *any* of the lines ever
line up at any grid resolution directly with any of the NSEW points.
Once in a long while, however, they do(!) - but I cannot determine
what the conditions are when that happens. The lines are always
labeled correctly even if they're notionally strange places, e.g.
95.00 degrees for a vertical grid line close to the E point.
It's certainly unconventional not have these meridians placed and
labeled at the cardinal points. Am I missing some key setting? Is a
software correction in order?
Thanks for your ear. In all other respects, I have been enjoying
CdC immensely since I recently discovered and began using it.
