<P>I have an irregularly gridded latitude/longitude data set.&nbsp; Although
the data is in a polar (radius, azimuth) format like a radar swath, I have
the exact lat/lon position for each point.&nbsp; I cannot plot the data
using map_image because that requires a regular grid.&nbsp; I used map_patch
successfully on small portions of the data.&nbsp; Unfortunately, any attempts
to plot larger portions of the data using map_patch result in the error:
<BR>&nbsp;% TRIANGULATE: Points are co-linear, no solution.<BR>
% Error occurred at:&nbsp; MAP_PATCH&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;& amp;nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
181<BR>
&nbsp; /usr/local/rsi/idl_5.2/lib/map_patch.pro<BR>
<BR>
<BR>Does anyone know:
<BR>&nbsp; a) how to plot this type of "radar swath" data onto a map?
<BR>or
<BR>&nbsp; b) how to sort the data in a way to work around the problem
of "co-linear" points?
