Extending Adaptive Composite Map Projections with Wagner’s Transformation Method
Adaptive composite map projections transform projections as the user changes the scale of the web map. The equal-area version of the original adaptive map projection composite uses the Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection for regional maps, and three equal-area world projections, namely the Hammer, the Eckert-Greifendorff, and the quartic authalic projections. These three projections show po...
متن کاملA Polynomial Equation for the Natural Earth Projection
The Natural Earth projection is a new projection for representing the entire Earth on small-scale maps. It was designed in Flex Projector, a specialized software application that offers a graphical approach for the creation of new projections. The original Natural Earth projection defines the length and spacing of parallels in tabular form for every five degrees of increasing latitude. It is a ...
متن کاملAdaptive Composite Map Projections in D3
Selecting a map projection for a visualization is a challenging problem, as different projections are better suited for different purposes, and in particular for different scales. We implemented as an extension to D3 a recent paper on the topic, which produces a composite projection between zoom levels and latitudes. The implementation ensures that a reasonable projection is chosen for any give...
متن کاملMap Projections Minimizing Distance Errors
It is useful to have mathematical criteria for evaluating errors in map projections. The Chebyshev criterion for minimizing rms (root mean square) local scale factor errors for conformal maps has been useful in developing conformal map projections of continents. However, any local error criterion will be minimized ultimately by map projections with multiple interruptions. A disadvantage of inte...
متن کاملSelecting Map Projections in Minimizing Area Distortions in GIS Applications
Varioussoftware for Geographical Information Systems (GISs) have been developed and used in many different engineering projects. In GIS applications, map coverage is important in terms of performing reliable and meaningful queries. Map projections can be conformal, equal-area and equidistant. The goal of an application plays an important role in choosing one of those projections. Choosing the e...
