Scales data in range -pi/2 to pi/2 (-90 to 90 degrees) using
the system used to scale latitudes in a Mercator projection.
The scale function:
ln(tan(y) + sec(y))
The inverse scale function:
atan(sinh(y))
Since the Mercator scale tends to infinity at +/- 90 degrees,
there is user-defined threshold, above and below which nothing
will be plotted. This defaults to +/- 85 degrees.
