Description

Projection for globes that are made by printing onto a plastic sheet that is then softened and extruded around a hemispherical form. In order for the resulting globe to have little distortion, the projection must invert the distortion that happens when extruding.

Classifications

azimuthal

Graticule

Meridians: Straight lines radiating from the center pole, equally spaced.
Parallels: Concentric circles spaced according to parameterization.
Poles: Center pole is a point; opposite pole is a circle—but normally only a hemisphere would be used.

Parameters

Measurement values for each parallel placement in 5° increments.

Origin

Developed Daniel “daan” Strebe, circa 1995.
