Thanks, this is huge forward progress

I notice that the output from convert_coord doesn't match position
keyword (typical idl annoyance)

something like this is what you had in mind? (looking straight down
from over the pole and w/o worrying about shading yet)
IDL> plot, findgen(11)-5, findgen(11)-5, /nodata, /iso
IDL> print, convert_coord([-1,1], [-1,1], /data, /to_normal)
0.356255 0.441672 0.00000
0.468755 0.591672 0.00000
IDL> MAP_SET,90,0,0,/ORTHOGRAPHIC,/ISOTROPIC, /CONTINENTS,/HORIZON, $
E_continents={FILL:1},
position=[0.356255,0.441672,0.468755,0.591672], /noerase, /noborder

(I will of course code in the position as variables since it will
change)

thanks much

Brian
