Well you've gone and inspired me! The attached image is wire globe (based on
my IRTC 'Sea' entry http://www.irtc.org/ftp/pub/stills/2000-08-31/asl.jpg).
The land mass is an isosurface generated by wrapping a height-field on a
sphere. This mechanism was originally posted by Gilles Tran and he has more
details on his website
(http://www.oyonale.com/ressources/english/sources09.htm).
