If you select "user defined" as the datum, you're then allowed to
specify the semiXXX_axis values.

Hi,
When i do the following...
imap, map_projection = 'sinusoidal'
I don't see that i can adjust the semiXXX_axes. Are you sure that you
had imap set to sinusoidal projection? Those change only when I change
the datum in the projection dialog. I'm no map expert - but I think it
is the datum you specify in order to control the axes.
Cheers,
Ben
