> Hi.
> 
> I am trying to use IDV to read binary input data from the air quality
> model CAMx.  IDV is able to read in all variables properly except for
> the map projection. for exampe, when I read in a file that is supposed
> to have the following map properties:
> 
> Standard Lat/lon:    55.800  -125.000
> True Latitudes:    30.000    60.000
> 
> GRID ID:         2
> PARENT ID:         1
> NX,NY,NZ:        99        99        40
> DX:    12.000
> Grid center (deg):    53.883  -129.157
> SW x/y corner:  -859.789  -795.765
> NE x/y corner:   328.212   392.235
> 
> for some reason the projection gets changed to:
> :latitude_of_projection_origin = 25.0;
> :longitude_of_central_meridian = -95.0;
> :standard_parallel = 20.0, 60.0;
> 
> Is there a way for me to go into the projection and manually reset the
> parameters? that way my map can be projected to northern BC as opposed
> to the gulf of mexico.
