Description
With this tool you can easily create globe gores from a (global) grid data set. The tool uses a polyconic projection for each gore and plots all gores side by side into one target grid. Target grid resolution is specified as number of pixels (cells) in meridional direction. The target grid is not suitable for further geoprocessing, but is thought to serve as print template for the creation of globes, i.e. to become glued onto a ball.
