Hi, The EPSG registry has this note about Robinson's and similar 'atlas' projections, which I guess includes Wikel Tripel...
"Atlas" projection methods not to be included in EPSG db unless utilised for a CRS that itself is in use by several parties or used in data exchange. It is possible to add custom projections to GeoTools but it's a fair bit of work and if you only have a small number of maps to do it's probably not worth the effort. An easier solution might be to just hand code the lat-lon to Winkel-Tripel transform (the formula looks simple enough: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winkel_Tripel) and "manually" transform your feature coordinates. A quick google shows that WT is implemented in the PROJ4 projection library. One Java wrapper for this is here... http://www.jhlabs.com/java/maps/proj/ If you're ambitious and you do want to try adding the projection there are some notes here: http://communitymapbuilder.org/display/GEOTDOC/How+to+add+new+projections > Aside from that main issue, I have a minor question about the documentation > at http://javadoc.geotools.fr/snapshot/ where I notice that under > SimpleFeature it says that the class is deprecated and to use... > SimpleFeature. Is this some oversight? That's an old site - I wish it would go away :-) The comment about SimpleFeature referred to identically named classes in different packages/libraries. You can find the javadocs for GeoTools version 2.6 here: http://geotools.org/javadocs Hope this helps.
