[Gdal-dev] plotting data

[Roger Persson]

Hello,

Thanks for the hint. But what projection are am suppose to use? If I 
project the (lat, long, height)-coordinate onto a "Oblique 
Stereographic" (x, y, z)-surface, then I must project a second time 
onto a graphics device coordinate system (or OpenGL coordinate system) 
before rendering. Is it up to me to calculate the latter (affine) 
transformation, or is there an utility to do that ?
