| 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 criterion. For more information, refer to my blogpost The Frančula Projections or Frančula’s original paper Die vorteilhaftesten Abbildungen in der Atlaskartographie (German). |
