Remarks | A Wanger IX variant, derived by Umbeziffern from the equatorial azimuthal equidistant 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). |
A variation of the Wagner IX, Böhm notation: ix@60-51.9615-450-38.49 (rounded). Presented in Sizing up the Universe by Gott & Vanderbei (2010), explained in detail in Flat Maps that improve on the Winkel Tripel by Gott, Goldberg & Vanderbei (2021).
