Hi there

Does anyone know the map projection needed in New Graphics to create a simple Earth 'globe' view? I'm sure in the old direct graphics there was a 'satellite' mapping - but I'm having trouble sorting this out in NG.

Cheers

George.

Hi George,

I think it might be the Near Side Perspective. I haven't played with it much, but it does have a height parameter, which I think you need to control the satellite height.

Cheers,
Chris
