| Remarks | The Patterson cylindrical balances polar exaggeration against maintaining the familiar shape of continents. Read Introducing the Patterson Cylindrical Projection on cartographicperspectives.org. Here on map-projections.net there’s an article about Patterson Cylindrical. Note: Up to the end of 2019 I showed a wrong rendition of the Patterson projection here (having a false aspect ratio). The current image is correct. Read the blogpost about this. |
