Don't know if this was deliberate, but my version is still showing as v1.50. The file date is recent and the Mercator problem looks OK so I'm sure it's the new version.

Probably related....

Generate a 4000nm orthographic basemap centred on EGNH and use the analysis command "OVER FILL COLOR=255:0:255 GRTN=0 TEMP". You get a circular plot. On an orthographic map the coverage is much more extensive.

Thanks Shannon. I'll gladly do some testing of the mercator stuff if you need a volunteer.

I spoke with Tim about the Mercator projection plotting issue, and we are going to work on fixing that with a patch.... We'll make an announcement in this forum when the patch is ready. It may be sometime in January as we are in the Christmas rush right now.


January is drawing to a close. Any ...

These were previously reported as problems in Equinox v1.05 and still seem to be broken in 1.40d. I don't know if they're still on Tim's fix list or not...

2) Despite selecting various locations (my definitions and pre-defined) and trying many settings, I can't generate any Polar Stereographic or ...

Which one was Equinox? I'm running v1.1j3. I'm pretty sure it's not Fusion, but is it WS or Equinox?

There may be reasons why Tim can't work on DA just now, but a quick note telling us that there are reasons (which don't need to be specified) why he can't sort problems out and that 'normal service will be resumed in x days/weeks/months' would only take a few minutes to write.

In my case I can't ...

I haven't seen anything quite like DA though...or at least not at a price I can afford

Mercator plots seem to work OK for me in DAWS, although perhaps there are some conditions that I haven't explored where it doesn't work. Mercator seemed to break during the Fusion development process and I reported the problem when I found it back then. I had hoped that the problem would have been ...

1) Generate a 4000nm orthographic basemap centred on EGNH and do a temperature analysis plot (assuming you have suitable data loaded). The plot lines cover the whole map area. Create the same map as Mercator and the plot only covers the middle of the map. It can't be missing data for the anlysis ...
