cylindrical equal-area projection
1Cylindrical equal-area projection — of the world; standard parallel at 40°N …
2Lambert cylindrical equal-area projection — In cartography, the Lambert cylindrical equal area projection, Lambert cylindrical projection, or cylindrical equal area projection is a cylindrical, equal area map projection. The invention of this projection is attributed to the Alsatian… …
3cylindrical projections/cylindrical equal-area map projection — A cylindrical map projection onto a cylinder tangent to a sphere, showing the geographic meridians as a family of equal spaced parallel straight lines perpendicular to a second family of parallel straight lines. They represent the geographic… …
4Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection — The Lambert azimuthal equal area projection is a particular mapping from a sphere to a disk. It accurately represents area in all regions of the sphere, but it does not accurately represent angles. Intuitively, it gives a planar picture of the… …
5Mercator projection — of the world between 82°S and 82°N. Mercator world …
6Tobler hyperelliptical projection — The Tobler hyperelliptical projection is a family of pseudocylindrical projections used for mapping the earth.It is named for Waldo R. Tobler, its inventor. It is an equal area projection. In the normal aspect, the parallels of latitude are… …
7Orthographic projection (cartography) — Orthographic projection (equatorial aspect) of eastern hemisphere 30W–150E An orthographic projection is a map projection of cartography. Like the stereographic projection and gnomonic projection, orthographic projection is a perspective (or… …
8Map projection — A medieval depiction of the Ecumene (1482, Johannes Schnitzer, engraver), constructed after the coordinates in Ptolemy s Geography and using his second map projection A map projection is any method of representing the surface of a sphere or other …
9Stereographic projection — In geometry, the stereographic projection is a particular mapping (function) that projects a sphere onto a plane. The projection is defined on the entire sphere, except at one point mdash; the projection point. Where it is defined, the mapping is …
10Gall-Peters projection — The Gall Peters projection is one specialization of a configurable equal area map projection known as the equal area cylindric or cylindric equal area projection. The Gall Peters achieved considerable notoriety in the late 20th century as the… …
