Does any one have good ideas about adjusting the same map projection
from C to IDL?
I have a 800*800 in Polar Stereographic in C and trying to adjust it
in to IDL, but always cannot find the perfect match. :( Thank you

Thanks David. but i still got a question, what is the difference
between these lines:

map=MAP_PROJ_INIT('Cylindrical',center_longitude=117.5,cente r_latitude=-32.5,limit=[lat_min,lon_min,lat_max,lon_max])
r= MAP_PROJ_FORWARD([lon_min,lon_max],[lat_min,lat_max],/
fill,MAP_STRUCTURE=map)
result=map_proj_image(a1,
[lon_min,lat_min,lon_max,lat_max],MAP_STRUCTURE=map, missing=0)
MAP_GRID,/label,linestyle=0, map_structure=map,
color=FSC_Color('Blue'),GLINETHICK=2,CHARSIZE=2,charthick=2

MAP_CONTINENTS,/HIRES,map_structure=map,
color=FSC_Color('Blue'),MLINETHICK=2


And

Map_set,/continent,/grid,/
noerase,limit=[lat_min,lon_min,lat_max,lon_max],$
charsize = 1.5,COLOR=0,/LABEL,con_color=TrueClrInx(2),xmargin =
[5,5],ymargin = [4,4]


I think they should be same, but why they have a such different image?
Thanks :)

Should be no problem with this if you are using
the MAP_PROJ_**** routines. We do this routinely
here.

Cheers,

David
