[McIDAS #VSG-323612]: Navigation error when plotting image beyond a certain dimension

Hi Kwan,

re:

I would suggest using the digital hybrid reflectivity as it has higher
data resolution (more levels) than the 1KN0R-NAT products.

re:
> What ADDE group name can I use to access the HHC images?

Remember that you can interrogate the ADDE server to see which datasets
are defined within an ADDE group.  For instance:

DSINFO I NEXRCOMP

        Dataset Names of Type: IMAGE in Group: NEXRCOMP

re: maximum image size

I verified your finding that a frame of 4800 x 6400 is too large for
McIDAS-X.  All I can suggest is making the frame size smaller so
that the mapping works correctly.  Given that the size of the
NEXRCOMP composites is significantly smaller than 4800 x 6400, this
should be reasonably easy.

Reminder of product size:

You can see from this listing that the product size, 3000x4736, is _way_ smaller
than your frame size, 4800x6400.  You can easily fit the image in a frame that
is 3200x5000, and mapping is fully supported for this size frame.

Cheers,

Tom
