Projection Informations

	Canters W07	Frančula XIV
Creator	Frank Canters (2002)	Nedjeljko Frančula (1971)
Group	Lenticular	Lenticular
Property	Equal-area	Equal-area
Other Names	Optimised version of Hammer-Wagner Wagner VII, Canters Optimization	—
Remarks	Low Error Optimization of Wagner VII. Please regard Naming Canters’ Projections. Also see my blogpost about the Canters projections, part 1 (W01 - W14) and part 2 (W15 - W34).	A Wanger VII variant, derived by Umbeziffern from the equatorial azimuthal equal-area 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).
