remap in script

[joleenf]

Hi,

I was trying to make a google earth image. I realized that it would be best to change to a different projection before saving my image in a script. So far I have tried the commands:

local_data="/Users.../AREA0100"
a=load(local_data)
dc=createDisplay('imagedisplay',a)
vms=idv.getVMManager().getViewManagers()
new_proj=vms.get(0).setProjectionByName('US>States>Midwest>Wisconsin')

Now how do I apply it?

Thanks,
Joleen

Note: I tried this again and the above method is not working either.

The only thing I can suggest is that you haven't accessed the correct
Display? You're assuming it's the first in the list, maybe there's more
than one. Obviously, we need some better modules for doing this.
You shouldn't really have to do: getIDV.getVMManager.get yada, yada
yada.

Do you see the projection in the Display change after you set? Check
all of the Displays in the session.

Tom,

You are correct, I did have more than one display and was pointing to the wrong display.
Thanks, the method above does work. However, instead of new_proj=vms.get(0).setProjectionByName('US>CONUS'), do not make a variable.... just use

vms.get(0).setProjectionByName('US>CONUS').
