Re: Plotting grid on map without long-lat coordinates

Hi again,

thanks to your help. I got much further now, but I experienced some
problems while plotting a stereographic projection over europe.

I plot a field of 132x111 floats as native grid over a stereographic
grid with officially
 res@mpCenterLonF = -30 ; center lon
 res@mpCenterLatF = 90. ; center lat
and a gridlength of 50km.

This worked well, except that that I couldn't use -30degrees, but had to
switch to something around -32 degrees so the values and the map
fit. I thought this was very strange, and I still have gridcells wich
are not exactly where they should be (about 10-20km displacement).
I can make the 'official' picture (which has been tested by about
40 independant parties), the NCL picture, the source-code and the data
available, if somebody want to have a closer look.

In addition, I would like to have the following for the native
Projection and I don't know how to do it:
a) longitude-latitude lines (drawn similar to the country-codes) (as on
   the picture on http://webdab.emep.int/)
b) ticks referencing the grid-cells, i.e.

        111
        110
          .
          .
          .
          1
            1 2 3 ... 131 132
   or at least ticks at each 10th position.

I hope somebody can help me further.

Regards,

Heiko Klein
