[gdal-dev] Swapped axes

Hi,

I'm trying to draw maps from shape data.
For coordinate transformation I use as destination

proj->importFromProj4(projString.c_str());
where projString is "+proj=merc +k_0=0.02 +lat_0=90 +lon_0=0 +a=6378.388 
+b=6356.906"

as source projection I take the
oceanLayer->GetSpatialRef()
the definition of the source

After transforming and displaying the data, my imagery is flipped. I 
think it has to do with the fact that the data is in lon/lat format 
instead of lat/lon.

How can I correct that. I tried to use

proj->SetAxes("GEOGCS","Easting",OAO_East,"Northing",OAO_North);
but this doesn't show any effect

Regards
Kees Kling
