Antique (or faux antique) globe projection styles--what is this one called?

[waldronate]

I don't recall ever seeing a map with that particular "M" configuration. It should be easy enough to do with a program that lets you define your own projection (just shift the bottom interruptions). I know it's doable with Fractal Terrains, but the projection definitions for FT aren't the easiest to define.

How the output from FT might look:



And the projection block to add to Projection.txt:


Projection 92, "AE M Interrupted"
Scale 1.0
Description "Azimuthal Equidistant M interruption"

Segment "Azimuthal Equidistant", 0, -90, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0
scale 1, 1
Offset -0.5, 0.0
Effective -180, 90, 0, 0
Rotate 0
EndSegment

Segment "Azimuthal Equidistant", 0 90, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0
scale 1, 1
Offset 0.5, 0.0
Effective 0, 90, 180, 0
Rotate 0
EndSegment

Segment "Azimuthal Equidistant", 0, -180, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0
scale 1, 1
Offset -1.0, 0.0
Effective -180, 0, -90, -90
Rotate 0
EndSegment

Segment "Azimuthal Equidistant", 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0
scale 1, 1
Offset 0.0, 0.0
Effective -90, 0, 90, -90
Rotate 0
EndSegment

Segment "Azimuthal Equidistant", 0, +180, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0
scale 1, 1
Offset +1.0, 0.0
Effective 90, 0, 180, -90
Rotate 0
EndSegment

EndProjection


And a bonus one for Azimuthal Equidistant hemispheres:


Projection 91, "AE Hemispheres"
Scale 1.0
Description "Azimuthal Equidistant Hemispheres"

Segment "Azimuthal Equidistant", 0, -90, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0
scale 1, 1
Offset -0.5, 0.0
Effective -180, 90, 0, -90
Rotate 0
EndSegment

Segment "Azimuthal Equidistant", 0 90, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0
scale 1, 1
Offset 0.5, 0.0
Effective 0, 90, 180, -90
Rotate 0
EndSegment

EndProjection
