[ncl-talk] questions about LambertConformal map projection

[Mary Haley]

One thing that can help determine if you have the parallels correct is by
drawing the lat/lon grid of your data. If the lines are straight then this
is a good sign that the map is projected properly. You can use
gsn_coordinates to draw the lat/lon grid.

See example datagrid_8.ncl at:
