Hi Alan
Thanks, I hadn't seen this function I will give it a try. It might be useful to
mention this in the plmap documentation for other users who want something more
general too.
Thanks again
Phil

After writing a transform class I realised that there is no void*
parameter to pass transform data to plmap and no void * parameter of
mapform. Am I missing a way to be able to do this?

such a feature as I'd be able to create a generic transform and be
able to pass a class or struct containing details about the satellite
position.

Hi Phil:
The documentation of plstransform says that the data parameter can be
used to pass required extra data, and the same general transformation
method is used in a number of other cases as well, e.g., the pltrl and
pltrl_data arguments of plcont, plshade, and plshades, and plimagefr.
I may be missing something, but I am currently wondering why
this transformation method not general enough for your needs in
this case.
