[Geotools-gt2-users] Behrmann Projection

[Peter B. <pet...@ya...>]

Hello-    I would like to create a map using the Behrmann Equal Area Projection (EPSG:54017). GeoTools doesn't seem to like this projection. When I call CRS.decode("EPSG:54017") I'm getting the following exception:

org.opengis.referencing.FactoryException: Error in "PROJECTION": No transform for classification "Behrmann".

When I try to pass in a Proj4 style string but I get a different exception.

CRS.decode("+proj=cea +lon_0=0 +lat_ts=30 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +datum=WGS84 +ellps=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs")

Throws:

org.opengis.referencing.NoSuchAuthorityCodeException: No authority was defined for code "+PROJ=CEA +LON_0=0 +LAT_TS=30 +X_0=0 +Y_0=0 +DATUM=WGS84 +ELLPS=WGS84 +UNITS=M +NO_DEFS". Did you forget "AUTHORITY:NUMBER"?

Any suggestions?

Thanks,Peter
