[3dem] Surface projection maps.

[Daniel Castano Diez]

Hi Steinar,

For small volumes you can use the Dynamo command "dcoordinates", I wrote a small walkthrough for this:

Hope it helps,
Daniel

I'm thinking that it would be sort of like making a world map using the Mercator projection, i.e. projecting a sphere onto a cylinder and "rolling out" the cylinder. Ideally there would be a way to average several pixels in each direction to enhance the contrast in the tomogram.
