Thread: Command line SW to plot Lambert Azimutal Equalarea projections?

  1. #1

    Post Command line SW to plot Lambert Azimutal Equalarea projections?

    I start a different topic besides this one 'cause I hope this one will bring to discover a different SW.

    I found, using Wilbur software, that with LAE projections each area delimited by parallels and meridians maintains its shape (rectangle, triangle, trapeze) when I change the projection center: I guess it means I can use a different center to project each single "tile", so obtaining a 7200 pieces puzzle which can be glued over a sphere...
    Is this correct?

    Does it exist a command line program I can use to bacth project 7200 tiles?

    This method should be better than using "gores", as they don't match correctly, and paper keeps "curling" along the curve...

    Would DGALWARP be suitable?
    http://www.gdal.org/gdalwarp.html
    It relies on PROJ.4, which does support Lambert Azimutal Equal Area... but which is the right command line?

    I can't understand False Easting and False Northing.

    That's a nice little app there I will have to play with that !

    I was going to suggest using a Perl/Python script to do it instead but I guess you would need a lot of ancillary stuff to get the image in and out and the math to do it correctly.

    Sorry I don't know about the params to drive that app though I will have a go and see what I come up with. Might be a while posting back tho - time seems to slip through my fingers of late.
