| Remarks | An equal-area projection that was designed to resemble the overall shape of the graticule of the popular (non-equal-area) Robinson projection. See the publication at researchgate.net. |
Not based upon mathematical formulas but tabular coordinates providing positions of the meridians and parallels in order to produce a »right-looking« map. |
