This option is needed because most SciAn visualization objects expect the data to be defined over a topologically continuous grid and convert spherical coordinates to Mercator projection by default. If SciAn sees a sequence along a scale such as 178, 179, -180, -179, there is a discontinuity between 179 and -180. Even though this sequence is continuous in spherical coordinates, it is discontinuous in the Mercator projection. When the check is on, a sequence like this will automatically be converted to 178, 179, 180, 181. When SciAn is enhanced to do spherical coordinates natively, both ways will work.\n\n\
In order for this check box to have any effect, you must create attributes for each polar dimension named \"Coordinates\" and \"polarUnit\". Coordinates must be set to \"polar\" or \"spherical\" and \"polarUnit\" must be set to \"degrees\", \"radians\", or \"gradians\" for the button to work. The attribute names are case sensitive, but the settings aren't."));
