Alright,
Thanks to some great feedback, I've made some good progress on getting
distortions to look better on a sphere. It's not perfect yet, but getting
close. Perhaps I just need to do a little more research on different
projections and more trial and error.
Here's what I've done so far:
Hi!
Just a wild guess (didn't try), but what if you rendered your map in an
equal area projection (e.g. Mollweide) and reprojected the resulting
raster image - in a second step - to equirectangular (for example using
GDAL)? That could result in something more towards your objective...
Hello gurus,
I'm thinking that I may need to find some alternative data visualization
software to make this work, but I love mapnik and thought it would be good
to start here first.
I'm hoping to create a basic themed map of different types of data and plot
it on a full-Earth image (I can figure

Mapnik is capable of rendering data in nearly any possible
Peter,
Thanks for the helpful info! It's much appreciated (and I just realized I
posted to OSM list instead of mapnik, helpful anyway!).
I'll look deeper into post-render distortion.
Kind regards,
Chris

Chris,
It would be helpful to explain what you've tried already. Mapnik supports proj4
and proj4 understands quite a few projections. I'm no expert in equirectangular
projections but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equirectangular_projection states
that this is basically a term for the well know

Hello Dane,
Thanks for taking a look. So far I can produce an EPSG:4326 image nicely,
your comment boosted that setup (thanks!). This one is quick and ugly, but
should work for illustration purposes:
