| Remarks | Low Error Optimization of Wagner VI. Please regard Naming Canters’ Projections. Also see my blogpost about the Canters projections, part 1 (W01 - W14) and part 2 (W15 - W34). |
A Wanger VI variant, derived by Umbeziffern from the Apian II projection, minimized distortion by application of the Airy-Kavrayskiy criterion. For more information, refer to my blogpost The Frančula Projections or Frančula’s original paper Die vorteilhaftesten Abbildungen in der Atlaskartographie (German). |
