[McIDAS #TEU-219455]: topo map

Hi Kwan,

OK.  I don't understand this.

As I noted before, the resolution will definitely be changed by the
remapping process.  The range of pixel values should not be changed,
however.  I think that the fact that I can create the remapped image
and display both in McIDAS-X without seeing a measurable shift in
values supports my notion that the range of pixel values in the
remapped image is essentially the same as in the original.

The big difference in our results seems to come down to the use of GEMPAK
for the display.  In order to investigate this more, I will need the GEMPAK
color table you are using so that I can try to replicate your results here.

Cheers,

Tom
