Dear Johan (and list),
you are right in the first case: I think the result is expected. Using global
data with this sort of projection will look kind of awful - the equatorial
azimuthal equidistant illustrations in Snyder do not try to map data for the
whole planet - they employ a hemisphere.
Hi
I don't think that Synder's book actually use a hemisphere for the
azimuthal equidistant projection examples.
For example, on figures 41.B and 41.C, you can see Australia
(respectively left to top-left and bottom-left).
I think that in both cases, you can see the whole world. This is quite
Dear Johan (and list),
I'm not a professional cartographer, but I do find myself flipping through
Snyder's book of map projections every once in a while.
Looking at your results, I don't see anything 'wrong' with the code or the
results. Yes, the map looks awful, but that is what it should
Thanks for your answer.
Regarding your last paragraph, I am not really sure to understand.
Do you mean that the result is expected in regards to the script (and
rgdal use) ?
Or do you mean that azimuthal equidistant projection is not
possible/valid on any other points than the two poles ?
Hi
I am trying to use the solution rpesented here:
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-geo/2007-December/002939.html.
However it looks like the shifted (from the north pole) map is
displayed on top on the original azimuthal equidistant projection
centered on the north pole.
Is there any way to
