I thought that by specifying >PRO=MERC in my combined images I was specifying a non-conical >projection. Is mercator a conical projection? The McIDAS MERCator projection is not a true Mercator projection. Even so, I guess I should have phrased things a bit differently: The compositing I am doing with a satellite-based projection (rotated Meteosat) does not exhibit the missing element slice. Composites produced by non-satellite remaps (MERCator for you and Polar Stereograhpic for Jennie (and I tried RECTilinear yesterday)), all seem to exhibit the missing element slice. I don't know if this is significant, but it _feels_ like it should be. By the way, attached to you email was a notice of a new email address for you.
