This README contains information about the various map projections that can be used
#Global data
The following projections are tested and appropriate for showing data across the full globe (or smaller):
- PlateCarree (default, fastest)
- Aitoff
- Eckert (I-VI)
- EqualEarth
- Hammer
- InterruptedGoodeHomolosine (non-continuous grid)
- LambertCylindrical
- Miller
- Mollweide
- Robinson
- RotatedPole
- Sinusoidal
The following projections will work for nearly the full globe, but are truncated at some point:
-
Mercator (limited to >10˚ from poles)
-
ObliqueMercator (limited to >10˚ from projection poles)
-
NorthPolarStereo (limited to ~>-60˚S)
-
SouthPolarStereo (limited to ~<60˚N)
-
Stereographic (limited to >20˚ from antipodal point)
#Hemispheric data
The following projections are tested and appropriate for showing data across a single hemisphere:
- Geostationary
- Orthographic
- Gnomonic (limited to 80˚ from center point, highly distorted beyond 60˚)
- LambertConformal (limited depending on user settings)
- NearsidePerspective (limited depending on user settings)
- AlbersEqualArea
- AzimuthalEquidistant
- EuroPP
- EquidistantConic
- UTM
- LambertAzimuthalEqualArea
- LambertZoneII
- OSGB
- OSNI
- TransverseMercator
