Map projection figures
This notebook regenerates figures for the map-projection writeup. The first cell below redraws Figure1 using only Python, matplotlib, and the local triangulated-land.json data.
Figure 4
This figure uses two rhumb lines intersecting at a chosen point on the sphere. In the Mercator panel those rhumb lines become straight lines and preserve their angle, while the equirectangular panel distorts that angle.
