Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

This coordinate system is perfect for my needs -- I have
to resample my radial data (Australian radar do equal-degree
azimuth sampling, U.S. weather radar don't), but that is easily
done.

Bureau of Meteorology folks, if you are reading this,
thanks!

I explicitly turned the texture enabling to true ...
I have put two images on this site, one generated using visad,
and the other using a C++ OpenGL display that illustrates the
problem:

thanks for all your help.
