Part 1
The basic techniques for calculating map distortions are reviewed, and several new concepts in analytic cartography are introduced together with the pertinent terminology: standardization of distortions against the reference projection, standard unit of distortion (SUD), and the distortion spectrum. The latter offers a succinct summary of the distortion content in a projection, which is quantitative and visual at the same time. Its main use is to…
Part 2
The applications of the distortion spectrum are extended to the domain of minimum-error projections. Several new concepts in analytic cartography are introduced, the most prominent being the Minimum-Constraint Minimum-Error (MCME) representation of the distortion measure, the MCME Atlas, and projection cross-breeding. The concept of projection cross-breeding is introduced as a technique of mixing two or more 'parent' MCME projections selected fro…
Part 3
More than seventy MCME representations of the world (graticule plus the shoreline) are included in this Atlas of map-distortion measures. The Atlas is of practical use for map designers seeking new optimal (minimum-error) world projections that best represent global GIS data according to the given design criteria. The entries in the Atlas include the algebraic formula for each distortion measure under consideration, its MCME representation, and i…
