Lambert Azimuthal Equal AreaΒΆ
This projection was developed by Johann Heinrich Lambert in 1772 and is typically used for mapping large regions like continents and hemispheres. It is an azimuthal, equal-area projection, but is not perspective. Distortion is zero at the center of the projection, and increases radially away from this point.
Alon0/lat0[/horizon]/width
: lon0
and lat0
specifies the projection center.
horizon
specifies the max distance from projection center (in degrees, <= 180,
default 90).
