This coordinate system is perfect for my needs -- I have
to resample my radial data (Australian radar do equal-degree
azimuth sampling, U.S. weather radar don't), but that is easily
done.
Bureau of Meteorology folks, if you are reading this,
thanks!

I explicitly turned the texture enabling to true ...
I have put two images on this site, one generated using visad,
and the other using a C++ OpenGL display that illustrates the
problem:

thanks for all your help.
