Hi, I'm having trouble with Basemap South Pole Stereographic projections. The required "boundinglat" doesn't seem to work properly, and I hope someone can help me figure out the correct syntax.
I have the following information about the data: extent: -3,333,500 to 3,333,500 m true scale latitude: -71 south pole stereographic projection. Given this, I try the following: m = Basemap(resolution='c',projection='spstere', lat_ts=-71,lat_0=0.,lon_0=0.) And it crashes reporting that I need boundinglat. I can't give width/height which are accepted by the 'stere' projection. I use http://www.pgc.umn.edu/tools/conversion and determine that 3333500 is 60 degrees south. If then add "boundinglat=-60" to the Basemap call, the data appears nowhere near the correct location. If I add "boundinglat=-89.999999" it looks almost perfect. If I change that to "-90" or add a few more 9's, it crashes. Am I determining the bounding lat correctly from the provided information? Should I be calling Basemap differently? Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks, Ken Mankoff ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want excitement? Manually upgrade your production database.
