Thank you for your response Brian<br><br>My grid has an interval of 50km. So when I use the usual "rectilinear" map projection (where the coordinates are latitude and longitude and a "square" of 10x10 degrees does appear as a square) my domain should look stretched towards the pole, narrow towards the equator and curved. But it doesn't: it appears rectangular<br><br>I'm running SUSE 10.0 - 32bit<br>and Grads version 1.8SL11 <br><br>Please let me know if this information is still not enough<br><br>Kostas <br><br><b><i></i></b><blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><div>Date: Fri, 4 Jan 2008 07:18:23 -0800<br>From: brian vant-hull <brianvanthull@YAHOO.COM><br>Subject: Re: wrong coordinates when plotting from an .nc file<br><br>You'll need to be more precise...for example if the<br>coordinates are in equal increments of lat and lon<br>then in an equal distance mapping they'd get narrower<br>towards
