Projection Face is a non bad representative of the distortions created yesteryear dissimilar map projections. The interactive shows how 64 dissimilar map projections resultant our thought of the earth yesteryear showing each projection's resultant when applied to something real familiar, the human face.
The distortions of each of the dissimilar projections cab hold upwardly illustrated farther yesteryear clicking in addition to dragging whatsoever of the mapped faces. This illustrates how the dissimilar map projections tin hold upwardly distorted themselves but yesteryear changing the middle of the map.
Projections Face is an interactive version of a 1924 representative from Elements of Map Projection amongst Applications to Map in addition to Chart Construction.
Degenerate State's Map Projections tool is roughly other interesting visualization of how dissimilar map projections distort our painting exhibit of the world. Map Projections is a real like tool to Projection Face but this interactive shows you lot how map projections genuinely resultant maps.
The tool allows you lot to thought a map of the earth using eleven dissimilar map projections. This inwards itself is a adept demonstration of the choices cartographers brand when depicting a 3 dimensional sphere on a 2 dimensional plane. However Map Projections also allows you lot to explore how these dissimilar map projections would modify if you lot changed the 0,0 betoken of latitude in addition to longitude on the map.
If you lot click anywhere inwards the earth thus the map volition automatically modify to exhibit the distortion needed if this was the source of the map.
If you lot desire a lilliputian attention deciding which map projection you lot should purpose for your electrical flow map projection thus you lot tin purpose the Projection Wizard to produce upwardly one's heed on the best projection.
This map projection withdraw allows you lot to select the extent of the map thought you lot are working amongst yesteryear outlining the expanse on a Leaflet map. Once you've highlighted your map bounds you lot tin pick out a distortion belongings (Equal-area, Conformal, Equidistant or Compromise).
The Projection Wizard volition thus propose which map projection you lot should purpose depending on the extent in addition to the distortion belongings of the map.
