World Map Coordinates!

Francesco,
I have no experience using the downloaded lat/lon files with GrADS'
basemap function, nor transforming to .asc files. Instead, I have used a
simple script to read the lat/lon coordinates, then draw the map
boundaries using the "set line" and "draw line" functions. So, after
drawing a base map (if needed), I run the script to draw the new map
information, then plot my gridded data.

Re: World Map Coordinates!
Hi Steve. I visit the site you have posted and I downloaded the lat/lon
file for Italy. How can I use this file with the basemap function of
GRADS? How can I transform this file into a .asc file? Do you have an
application to do this?
Thanks in advance.

Vinoj,
Try this web site: http://www.maproom.psu.edu/dcw/. Although some of the
political boundaries may be out of date, It provides a downloadable
lat-lon text file ("download points" option) which you could then read
into a GrADS application. If you have further questions, let me know.

Re: World Map Coordinates!
Dear da Francis,
I am glad to receive ur reply to my query on the grads list...
Infact I need the world coordinates for all the countries... not just
India.
For the moment, it will be sufficient even if i can get the exact details
(lat
lon) of the land and ocean boundaries... I shall make do with whatever
analysis i do right now.
Moreover Is it possible to readout the GrADS hires map dataset?
Hope ur stay out there at NY is fine...
shall get back to u off list...
regards,
Vinoj V
