I just committed the implementation of the lambert projection into the panotoos. Some technical data about it: * Its width is PI times its height * It is a projection of the sphere to a cilinder that is tangent to the equator. >From the practical point of view it compresses the nadir and the zenith. It is projection type #8 in panotools. I'll post a bit more details on what its implications are to the panotoolsNG list. -- Daniel M.

Awesome. I had advocated adding just that projection long ago: http://www.panotools.org/mailarchive/msg/22350#msg22350 There are a few others of interest too, including the Miller Equidistant with 37.5deg parallel, a cylindrical equidistant projection with the least scale distortion. Here's a nice page with a picture of most common projections: http://www.3dsoftware.com/Cartography/USGS/MapProjections/ Can PTMender take a nona .pto script without difficulty? It would be nice to use nona for normal workflow to generate 16bit or multi-layer TIFFs, and then modify the output type to Lambert and re-run PTMender on the script to create a Lambertian preview image.

Since last night I have been struggling to get the Lambert Azimuthal to work. I have been beaten by numerical analysis problems (or numerical paralysis as my colleague that teaches it here at Uvic calls it). http://turingmachine.org/~dmg/temp/lambertazith.jpg I get jagged edges and I can't compute properly its size :( I think I need to get a numerical analysis book (it was my _worst_ subject in my computer science education :) but I plan to teach it in the future. dmg JD Smith twisted the bytes to say: JD> On Mon, 2006-12-11 at 23:12 -0800, Daniel M.

JD> Awesome. I had advocated adding just that projection long ago: http://www.panotools.org/mailarchive/msg/22350#msg22350 I looked at the others you mentioned. Miller. I don't think it is very useful. Its poles are too stretched for my taste Orthographic. Perhaps, but it is restricted to 180x180 Of interest would be to be able to parametrize the projections with an standard parallel (such as the Behrmann cylindrical which is a variation of the lambert). I do like the Berhmann The one that I'd like to implement is the quincuncial, but I have not been able to find its math (even the original paper that presents is cryptic--for a non geographer). -- Daniel M.

I second the request for the quincucial transformation http://www.progonos.com/furuti/MapProj/Normal/ProjConf/projConf.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quincuncial_map Here are some formulas http://groups.google.com/group/comp.graphics.apps.gimp/browse_thread/thread/bd0179dcf164d078/821afe9833a9039e Seb |
