 Hi again Jeff et al...

 I've had a play around with the extra few lines of code - on paper this
 seems like it should solve the problems I'm experiencing. However, an
 error's being thrown up by the transform scalar function, as my lons and
 lats won't necessarily be increasing. The data I'm plotting is satellite
 data and so at the beginning and end of the orbit file lats go over the
 pole
 from 90 to -90, with a similar problem for the lons - whereby the data
 is
 taken across the satellite track. I've thought about sorting the data
 before
 passing it to transform_scalar but I'm always going to be left with the
 problem in either lats or lons.

 I've uploaded the file I'm currently working with this time. It's three
 columns of lons, lats and z values.

 Once again, many thanks for your help.

 Will.

 Will:  Is it a regular lat/lon grid or a satellite swath?  If it's the
 latter, you can't use my solution.

 -Jeff

 What if it _is_ a satellite swath? Can I get around the problem of
 off-projection plotting with Basemap.pcolormesh()?
 Example code and plots can be found at

 Jakob: I think that's the price you pay for the speed of pcolormesh (vs
 pcolor).  It appears to make more assumptions about the structure of your
 data. I don't see any way around it.

 -Jeff


Hmm... I believe I have been able to get around it previously, but
perhaps I just fell back to using pcolor...

Thanks,
Jakob
