Mapping

IDLffShape - Contains geometry, connectivity and attributes for graphics primitives accessed from ESRI Shapefiles.

INDGEN - Displays georeferenced data in an iTool.

LL_ARC_DISTANCE - Returns the longitude and latitude of a point given arc distance and azimuth.

MAP - Displays map data in a graphics window.

MAP_2POINTS - Returns distance, azimuth, and path relating to the great circle or rhumb line connecting two points on a sphere.

MAPCONTINENTS - Overlays map boundaries on a map in a graphics window.

MAP_CONTINENTS Procedure - Draws continental boundaries, filled continents, political boundaries, coastlines, and/or rivers, over an existing map projection established by MAP_SET. (Direct Graphics)

MAPGRID - Plots a map graticule (or grid) onto an existing IDL map graphic.

MAP_PROJ_FORWARD - Draws parallels and meridians over a map projection.

MAP_PROJ_FORWARD - Returns an image warped to fit the current map projection. (Use when map data is larger than the display).

MAP_PATCH - Returns an image warped to fit the current map projection. (Use when map data is smaller than the display). (Direct Graphics)

MAP_PROJ_FORWARD - Transforms map coordinates from longitude/latitude to Cartesian (X, Y) coordinates

MAP_PROJ_IMAGE - Warps an image from geographic coordinates to a specified map projection.

MAP_PROJ_INIT - Returns information about current map and/or the available projections.

MAP_PROJ_INIT - Initializes a mapping projection, using either IDL’s own map projections or the General Cartographic Transformation Package (GCTP) map projections.

MAP_PROJ_INVERSE - Transforms map coordinates from Cartesian (X, Y) coordinates to longitude/latitude.

MAP_SET - Establishes map projection type and limits. (Direct Graphics)
