MAP_SET Aspect Ratio
type: item
description: I have a question about using the MAP_SET function in IDL. I'm trying to overlay some contour maps onto a specific map projection. So far, I can plot up everything just fine, but the aspect ratio is all messed up. When I set the limits, IDL takes those and scales them to fit the existing plot window, allowing the programmer to make Colorado 3 miles wide and 600 miles high (not a very helpful map projection). Do I really have to tweak the window's scaling factors manually in order to get a true map projection? Thanks for your help.
