Can anyone suggest any guidelines as to how I would go about correcting
this (as, I have to admit, I'm a bit unsure?) At the moment the WMS server
just "glues together" the appropriate NPE tile images based on the
bounding box, width and height. I guess, therefore, that this is an
inherent problem in the accuracy of the NPE tiles.
Would it involve something like "twisting" the tile so the longitude of
the top and bottom are equal?
Thanks,
Nick
