Yes, you're right about that. By using the Bromley-Mollweide, the first one manages to avoid extreme shear for the distant part of Asia; the others all try to manage using only Bonne's projection. The paradox with that is, while it's easy to interrupt, there are limitations in where it can be interrupted. So, suppose I want Asia, Africa, and Australia all to look good. In the conventional orientation, if I make Asia look good by running the standard parallel through the middle of Asia, then if I want to make Africa and Australia also look good by giving each their own standard meridian... I have to interrupt Asia itself up to the standard parallel.daan wrote:I think the first of the September 14th samples is the most successful of these, even ignoring the kinks in the later ones. It gives better fidelity per slice, to my eye. The more slices you allow, the better it should look. With the later renditions, the slicing is as extreme as, say, Cahill’s Butterfly, but to less benefit.
