[IDV #TPP-452920]: I/O API Support for Mercator Projections



Hi Zac-

> Operating System: Leopard
> Hardware: MacOSx
> Description of problem: I've recently been in contact with the developer of 
> the I/O API library about bugs in their support for Mercator map projections. 
> A new version of the I/O API 3 was made available on 20Jul08 that includes a 
> fix for this issue.  Gridded emissions and air quality data that I'm 
> generating on a Mercator grid is not loading into IDV and I'm wondering if it 
> has to do with the I/O API library used to compile the release version of the 
> tool.  I've attached a sample gridded NCF emissions file.  I've been able to

> lambert) with IDV.  Any help on this is appreciated.  Regards, Zac


We do not use the I/O API library per-se.  The parser was based on
some work by someone working for the EPA.  In this case, it is
failing on the projection.  The file you send was a Stereographic
projection (GDTYP=4).

We've been discussing improving I/O API support with the developer
of the library.  For now, I put in a quick fix which is available
in the nightly build.  I'm not sure it correctly handles everything
but give it a try and let me know what problems you see.
