Use PyProj for doing map projections: http://code.google.com/p/pyproj/ For 2D maps, you may want to consider using matplotlib's basemap package: http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/Maps It uses the same underlying map projection library as PyProj. Even if you are using Mayavi, there may be some utility code there that you will want to steal. -- Robert Kern Enthought ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enable your software for Intel(R) Active Management Technology to meet the growing manageability and security demands of your customers.
