Van der Grinten projection

The Van der Grinten projection, presented by Alphons J. van der Grinten in 1904, is neither equal-area nor conformal. Central meridian and Equator are straight lines; other meridians are arcs of circles. The scale is true along the Equator only. Its main use is to show the entire world enclosed in a circle.

v[lon0/]scale or V[lon0/]width

• v or V: Sets the projection type.

• lon0: Sets the central meridian [Optional].

• scale or width: Sets the map size.
