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.

Aitoff, was introduced in the late 1880s. Hammer was introduced just a few years later. Hammer acknowledged that his map is just an equal-area version using Aitoff's construction-principle, and Hammer's projection is often called "Hammer-Aitoff". Hammer and Aitoff arguably look more realistic than Mollweide and Apianus II, but Hammer and Aitoff aren't cylindroid. Hammer has only the equal-area property, and Aitoff doen't have a property. Incidentally, Mollweide was introduced in 1805, by a teacher in Germany, and has been very popular. Michael Ossipoff
