That bit of code was put in long ago as a contribution from a user outside COLA. If you open a file with data on a native lambert grid and 'pdef lcc', and then draw a plot with 'mproj lambert', it doesn't come out as a rectangle (as you would expect) -- it's "squishy": </div><div><br></div><div><img height="506" width="459" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" src="cid:EAC2409F-0457-44BB-88FA-E6BE85F6942B"></div><div><br></div><div>--Jennifer</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Apr 7, 2010, at 4:57 PM, Huddleston, John wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div>Hello,<br><br>I am trying to project satellite data to match model data in the lambert conformal conic projection.<br><br>If I use 'set mproj lcc' the image seems squished.
