Yes and no. Mapnik uses Proj.4 for coordinate transformation, and Proj.4 is powerful. All you need to do to use that projection with Mapnik is to construct the proj.4 string that properly describes the projection and send that to Mapnik.
However, that seems like quite a custom/rare projection, so finding the proj.4 string for it may not be possible, and manually constructing it will require a deep understanding of projection math. For example, there is no mention of Peirce projections at http://spatialreference.org/ref/?search=+stereographic&srtext=Search But, from the wikipedia article I see it is based on stereographic principles, so you could start but trying/modifying some of these: http://spatialreference.org/ref/?search=+stereographic&srtext=Search Dane On Feb 23, 2010, at 8:51 AM, Ciscaucasus Xabarnama wrote: > Hello, > > I would like to generate maps using the Peirce quincuncial projection > (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peirce_quincuncial_projection) in > mapnik. > > Is there a way to do this? > > -cixa > _______________________________________________ > Mapnik-users mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/mapnik-users _______________________________________________ Mapnik-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/mapnik-users
