Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection

This projection was developed by Johann Heinrich Lambert in 1772 and is typically used for mapping large regions like continents and hemispheres. It is an azimuthal, equal-area projection, but is not perspective. Distortion is zero at the center of the projection, and increases radially away from this point.

alon0/lat0[/horizon]/scale or Alon0/lat0[/horizon]/width

a or A specifies the projection type, and lon0/lat0 specifies the projection center, horizon specifies the maximum distance from projection center (in degrees, <= 180, default 90), and scale or width sets the size of the figure.
