Agreed. I also prefer to not change basecode.
I tried to use your code, but the thing doesn't work. The
CoordinateSystem (which is simply a translation system) is not
called for some reason. I'm a bit confused. I guess it is because of
what Bill said in his last post.

Yeah, I tried IDV and it is a great tool. I dreamed it would have been
possible to use that one in JGrass because it is a really advanced tool.

Regarding hydrology and geomorphology I would say yes. We have a heel of
Achilles which is the displaying system, which we are now trying to
substitute. If someone has ideas, advices are very welcome, we are still
prototyping (offlist, since that would probably be sightly offtopic here).

Hum? Wouldn't that just transpose the image? Mine is mirrored upside
down.
