Confusions with map_image! [message #66868]

Having spend the last couple of weeks trying to figure this out, I
gather this isn't an uncommon problem, but hope that someone might be
able to clarify -

I have taken some global satellite data, and rebinned this into
0.25x0.25 degree pixels. Now I want to plot my data as an image for
display. The data was originally in the format lat, long, data, but I
formed data into a grid of 1440 x 720 in order to plot.

The issue I am having is that there appears to be so many variables
regarding the use of MAP_IMAGE, which seem to change my values
significantly that I am not unsure what the "right" answer is! For
example, the maxiumum value in my original grid could be 50, yet after
using MAP_IMAGE this is reduced to say 35. The main factor which
seems to affect this is the window size - I have set this to
xsize=1453, ysize=749 in order to have a resulting image size of
x=1440, y=720, but the values (although close) are still different.

If anyone can shed any light on this I would be really greatful!
