Yeah it does. Sorry.

I wasn't sure about Sinusoidal. I didn't mean to imply that it definitely was a hyperelliptical. But I think, like Mollweide, Lambert EA (and Smyth ES), Collignon, there's an appealing simplicity to it even if it's not immediately aesthetically pleasing. I'm all for alternative ways generating hyper...

Tobler’s paper has some typos and his implementation suffers from poor numerical accuracy (it was 1973, after all), which might account for some problems. This is what I get using his parameters, and it’s very close to a 2:1 astroid: astroid.jpg Is that not what you want? It's been some time, I've ...

I prefer if they just not reference Peters at all. The clear implication is that it's still the most preferable.

I just don't want it institutionalized one bit. The other cylindrical equal-area projections are fine.

The West Wing continues to wreak havoc on our hell world, in more ways than one, even eighteen years after it ended.

It looks like it can do hemispheres on smaller resolutions, but not larger ones? Tried existing saved files and changing it to Hyper, then Hemispheres, and the problem happens. Started a new file (with the default settings), then changing it to Hyper, then Hemispheres, increased the resolution, and ...

Thanks. I wasn't sure about that precisely because of the imprecise 1970s illustrations. Like, if something was (or this case, was not) what I thought it was. I guess I'm showing the limits of my understanding of geometry lol. This is obviously an impractical projection, but still a thing I wanted t...

This is how it looks when I enter the parameters (0, 6, 1/2), compared to the original: It falls slightly short of 2:1.

But it's not what I was looking for anyway? I guess I have to find the correct parameters.

3.3.6 win.64 on my Windows 10 laptop. i guess it was more of an issue than projection discussion. how it normally looks (but downscaled in an another app) a.gif how it looks in "hemispheres" (it's on the top left) it weirdly shrank. b.gif actually it looks like gores sometimes works? but i...

I've been experimenting with hyperellipticals in GeoCart, and I've skimmed this thread and Tobler's paper, and I'm wondering what exact parameters need to be entered for the "World within a hypocycloid". More specially, an astroid with a 2:1 aspect ratio. I tried the parameters in the pape...
