Hi Veba,
I notice we have a broken link in the FAQ I pointed you to. Further
information about map projections in Ferret can be found in the main
Ferret Users Guide, here:

Hi Vega,
I can help with the Ferret end of your question. What does your grid
look like? If the data is on a curvilinear grid that's already
designed to work with the data in your region, then we have LAS scripts
to work with that already, although the selectors on the LAS interface
aren't really set up to choose a region spanning a pole.
If your data is on rectilinear grid, then a custom LAS product would be
needed to plot data using a map projection - For instance the
Orthographic projection is nice for viewing polar data. This FAQ shows
some examples:
How
do I create map projections with Ferret?
So far as I know this kind of thing hasn't been implemented in an LAS,
but I may be wrong.

Dear
all,
first of all Happy New Year ;-)
I'm trying to use LAS for displaying data on the Antartica
region...while LAS (and Ferret) can plot succesfully the data, the
visualization in this case is not "appropriate" as it is stretched and
is not a good looking ;-) ....
I wonder if
1) is possible (and How) to modify the little map on the top-left
corner and center it on the south pole
2) is it possible (and How) to tell ferret/LAS/??? to plot the data
over this circular region?
Many Thanks in advance
