Remarks | Independently presented by Oscar Sherman Adams (1945). | — |
recommended comparisons | Eckert-Greifendorff Sinusoidal |
Craster’s parabolic Eckert-Greifendorff Putnins P6 Quartic Authalic |
This pairing is among the list of recommended pairings – but why? While very much alike at first glance, in direct comparision the differences become quite obvious. |
Remark: On these two projections, »scaled to fit« and »scaled to same width« will be quite identical!
