Thanks, but I can't yet understand...
I have a map of the whole world. It is 640 pixel wide. "Planar world" is 44.000.000 meters wide.... so which number should I specify as "A"??
The same applies for "E".
About C and F: which coordinates should I specify? Lat and Lon?  This would be 90,-180, I guess, being the map centered on Lat,Lon=0,0 and 360° wide and 180° tall.

Thanks for your pacience.

(Please reply on the list, others could be interested!)

bye,
Jumpjack
