Baker Dinomic

[mapnerd2022]

Good evening, everyone. Daan, do you know what projection Baker used outside of 45ºN? It looks like a Sinusoidal projection to me, but I'm not sure.

Hello mapner2022, and welcome to the forums!

Baker’s dinomic’s parallel’s spacing continues to increase toward the poles, so it wouldn’t be the sinusoidal. I don’t have Baker’s original paper, but, looking at the source code in D3, the parallel spacing seems contrived purely for appearance.

Thank you. I'm grateful for the clarification.

Could also have been one of Putnins's pointed-polar pseudocylindricals.

When I said the Sinusoidal I meant the classical Sinusoidal and projections that look close to it.

I'm sorry I wasn't clearer.
