function help_projection(self) % SeaGrid offers "Mercator" (default) and "Stereographic" % conformal mapings, of which the Mercator projection looks % the best here. The SeaGrid "Setup" dialog allows the % projection, center-of-projection, and geographic bounds to % be set. These default to the "Mercator" projection, centered % at (longitude, latitude, rotation-angle) = (0, 0, 0) degrees, % with no fixed bounds. % The "Transverse Mercator" projection can be computed % from the "Mercator" mapping, using a center-of-projection % of (LON, 0, 90), where LON is the desired central-longitude, % in degrees. % The "Lambert Equal Area" projection is not conformal, % but is useful for comparing the relative areas of adjacent % grid cells. % Copyright (C) 1999 Dr. Charles R.
