Re: How wrong is your time zone: Map shows how far world clocks are from solar time

Hi all, as last step, according with Stefano Maggiolo, I applied the time-zone 
map to a truncated icosahedron (fullerene) as already done with the paper 
sundial n. 41 of Sundial Atlas. I just activate the paper sundial n. 45 with 
this map.
May be curious to watch the analemmas overprinted on the time zones.

PS remember to save the pdf on your computer, then to print it with the pdf 
reader to get the best result.

Hi Fabio,

Thanks for the detailed explanation.

I have downloaded the G.Projector software and found ReprojectImage at 

  http://www.fracterra.com/ReprojectImage.zip

Thanks again for your help.

hi Rob
 
I did 2 steps:
 
- I added a white band at the bottom to rebuild the whole Miller projection.
I placed side by side a Miller map (from wikipedia) with the time-zone map, 
aligning them at the top. Then I vertical resized the time-zone map, from the 
bottom, to get the corrispondence of the continents on the same horizontal 
lines. I used Corel Draw for this action.
 
- I have a sw to convert an equirectangular map to many other kind of 
projections, may be you know G projector 
(http://www.giss.nasa.gov/tools/gprojector/).
This sw doesn’t allow the back conversion so I found ReprojectImage 1.0 to do 
this action, I don’t remember the website but it is free and if you wish I can 
send it to you or anyone who is interested (793 KB).

Hi,
 
What kind of software did you use for converting the Miller cylindrical 
projection into an equirectangular projection? 
 
I would like to do similar things with other maps.
