Cylindrical projections¶

detroit.geo_equirectangular() → Projection¶

The equirectangular (plate carrée) projection

Returns:: Projection object
Return type:: Projection

detroit.geo_mercator() → Projection¶

The spherical Mercator projection. Defines a default Projection.set_clip_extent such that the world is projected to a square, clipped to approximately \(\pm 85°\) latitude.

Returns:: Projection object
Return type:: Projection

detroit.geo_transverse_mercator() → Projection¶

The transverse spherical Mercator projection. Defines a default Projection.set_clip_extent such that the world is projected to a square, clipped to approximately \(\pm 85°\) latitude.

Returns:: Projection object
Return type:: Projection

detroit.geo_equal_earth() → Projection¶

The Equal Earth projection, an equal-area projection, by Bojan Šavrič et al., 2018.

Returns:: Projection object
Return type:: Projection

detroit.geo_natural_earth_1() → Projection¶

The Natural Earth projection is a pseudocylindrical projection designed by Tom Patterson. It is neither conformal nor equal-area, but appealing to the eye for small-scale maps of the whole world.

Returns:: Projection object
Return type:: Projection
