Pole centric map with Raster?

Ben
here's some code I used for a paper.

Is this producing what you want?

library("remote")

## load data
data("vdendool")
data("coastsCoarse")

## calculate 4 leading modes
nh_modes <- eot(x = vdendool, y = NULL, n = 4, reduce.both = FALSE,
                standardised = FALSE, verbose = TRUE)

## create coastal outlines
ster <- CRS("+proj=stere +lat_0=90 +lon_0=-45")
xmin <- -180
xmax <- 180
ymin <- 20
ymax <- 90     # Coordinates for bounding box
bb <- cbind(x = c(xmin, xmin, xmax, xmax, xmin),
            y = c(ymin, ymax, ymax, ymin, ymin))    #Create bounding box
SP <- SpatialPolygons(list(Polygons(list(Polygon(bb)), "1")),
                      proj4string = CRS(proj4string(coastsCoarse)))

gI <- gIntersects(coastsCoarse, SP, byid = TRUE)
out <- vector(mode = "list", length = length(which(gI)))
ii <- 1

for (i in seq(along = gI)) if (gI[i]) {
  out[[ii]] <- gIntersection(coastsCoarse[i, ], SP)
  row.names(out[[ii]]) <- row.names(coastsCoarse)[i]
  ii <- ii + 1
}

nh_coasts <- do.call("rbind", out)
nh_coasts_ster <- spTransform(nh_coasts, ster)

lout <- list("sp.lines", nh_coasts_ster,
             col = "grey30", grid = TRUE)

## define colours
clrs <- colorRampPalette(rev(brewer.pal(9, "RdBu")))

## project modes to polar stereographic CRS
mode1 <- projectRaster(nh_modes[[1]]@r_predictor, crs = ster)

spplot(mode1, sp.layout = lout,
       col.regions = clrs(1000), at = seq(-1, 1, 0.2),
       par.settings = list(axis.line = list(col = 0)),
       colorkey = list(height = 0.75, width = 1))

Hello,

I'm learning how to use Raster* objects and ultimately hope to draw
rasters from a (north) polar perspective.  I can do something like
this using tiling in ggplot2:

I have hopes of doing similar using raster, sp and lattice.  But I'm
drowning in information as neophytes are prone to do.  Below is a
self-contained example...  I'm not getting too far.  It creates two
plots:

raster without using projectRaster:

raster using projectRaster:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8433654/raster_with_project.png

Neither is what I would like.  How does one get the map centered on
the pole and draw a (warped) raster using spplot?

Thanks!
Ben
