    Default Putting Gores to bed.

    Every few weeks we have a question on how to make a map with Gores projections. Why use Gores ? Well its usually done so that you print out the result and then cut out the shape and glue it to a sphere to make a globe.

    There are other solutions but I thought I would make a windows and linux app for everyone. You can copy this and give it away (freeware) but its not open source. If you find bugs then let me know.

    I have a windows ZIP file containing a 32 bit and a 64 bit version. As usual its a simple command line app.

    In linux there is only one 64 bit app (and I hope it works based on your version of the C standard libs). As usual you open a terminal and run it.

    All versions contain the usage and help info for the args. But basically its a variant of:

    Gores.exe 12 Input.JPG Output.png

    To give you a 12 gore version of the input file which should be a usual type of mercator / cylindrical projection.

    I have tested it on 16K x 8K images no problem and it uses bi-linear interpolation.

    Feedback welcome.
