Talk:Gall-Peters projection

An example of this one would be great. I'm familiar with the Mercator projection, but can't imagine what this one would look like. --KQ 18:09 Aug 8, 2002 (PDT)
- Here are some samples of various projections (copyrighted page, so we can't steal them): http://www.geog.ouc.bc.ca/physgeog/contents/2a.html --Brion VIBBER
- Oh... those. I've seen those. I don't think they'd be too hard to "reverse engineer", actually--just take a PD Mercator projection and use the GIMP or Photoshop to squash it at the top and bottom. I'd try it now except I have to pack for a trip. Anyway, thanks. --KQ 18:19 Aug 8, 2002 (PDT)
Where can I get data showing the outlines of the continents? With that I could code up the map projections (I have code for some stashed away somewhere, and Gall-Peters is pretty easy) and draw them. -phma
