eric,
this issue is now at the top of the queue. Unfortunately, we have no completion
date from the NCL developers b/c they do not know how difficult this will
be until they get in there and start mucking around. There are several tasks
at hand:
1) Create a whole new class of objects that can handle 2d coordinates, and then
integrate those into present objects.
2) Adjust all the graphics to accept 2D coordinates, this includes contours and
vectors which are different beasts.
The entire NCL team is working on this integration. Step 1 can only be
accomplished by ethan, and for the next few years, he is authorized to only
spend 25% of his time on NCL. NCL is a non-funded requirement.
I will forward your note to the head of the team. I like to remind him from
time to time just how many people are clamering for this capability.
cheers
sylvia
