[matplotlib-devel] with projection=aeqd, width has no effect

2010-01-24 Thread Dr. Phillip M. Feldman
When I generate a map with the aeqd projection, the width parameter has no effect. This looks like a bug. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/with-projection%3Daeqd%2C-width-has-no-effect-tp27302405p27302405.html Sent from the matplotlib - devel mailing list archive at Nabble

If and when you have time on your hands, a projection that is rarely used but quite interesting is Guyou's Doubly-Periodic Projection. (See the first and third figures in http://www.members.shaw.ca/quadibloc/maps/mcf0703.htm). This projection puts the worst distortion at four points in the ocean

Basemap offers many projections, but is missing two of the most useful ones: - For satellite applications, it would be helpful to have a "camera" projection, i.e., a projection that shows the Earth as viewed from a specified point in space. This would be a generalization of the current geostatio
