    The general transformation appears as shown below.
    Starting with an equirectangular map, squash the top and bottom to points (converts the poles into points from lines). TO get ffrom the first image to the second, I used the "Pointy" projection from Fractal Terrains. Take the pointy map and scale it horizontally by a factor 0.5. Then rotate by 45 degrees to get the final result.

    The discontinuity at the equator is the most disturbing part of the transform, but it has the basic properties that I originally described.
