Mercator images / Mercator composite images overlapping the international date line - unexpected behaviour
Capturing images from NZ, I'm about 174 west, so captures can often overlap the dateline, i.e. 180 east / west, which results in a rendering which covers from 180 East through 0 through 180 West.
Example to illustrate the issue:
Can the code be updated to handle this with just showing the area covered by the captured areas? This will also have a significant impact on performance as this requires a lot less rendering time for the images.
Source file for settings.ini and the .s and .tle files - https://kiwiweather.com/downloads/meteordemod.zip (339MB - let me know when you've downloaded this so I can remove it). I can supply the .wav files, but that is about twice as much space!
Commands used to generate the images: meteordemod -i 2022-12-01-16-41-42-METEOR-M_2.s -t 2022-12-01-16-41-42-METEOR-M_2weather.tle -f jpg -d 01-12-2022 meteordemod -i 2022-12-01-18-21-57-METEOR-M_2.s -t 2022-12-01-18-21-57-METEOR-M_2weather.tle -f jpg -d 01-12-2022 meteordemod -i 2022-12-02-06-41-13-METEOR-M_2.s -t 2022-12-02-06-41-13-METEOR-M_2weather.tle -f jpg -d 02-12-2022
Note that this is also happening with non-composite Mercator images which have content which goes across the international date line too. So the composite part is just compounding the problem.
I've now removed the zip file from the webserver. But I can upload other data on request to assist in you having southern hemisphere data which overlaps the international date line for testing.
Note this only applies to Mercator images / composite Mercator images and not equidistant images / composite equidistant images. The author is working on a fix...
