I think you are looking in the wrong place. If I were going
to produce planetary map products, I would be studying the
MAP_PROJ_**** routines. These will create the map structure
that you can use for any of your needs without knowing
anything much about it.

In any case, if you want to know more about it, you
will have to study Snyder or some other, equally
technical, book on map projections. Nothing in the
IDL documentation will help.

Cheers,

David
