Projections
PyGMT supports many map projections; see GMT Map Projections for an overview.
Use the projection
parameter to specify which one you want to use in all plotting
methods. The projection is specified by a one-letter code along with (sometimes optional)
reference longitude and latitude and the width of the map (for example,
Alon0/lat0[/horizon]/width). The map height is determined based on the
region and projection.
These are all the available projections:
Azimuthal Projections
Azimuthal equidistant projection
General stereographic projection
Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection
Conic Projections
Albers conic equal-area projection
Lambert conic conformal projection
Cylindric Projections
Cassini cylindrical projection
Cylindrical equal-area projection
Cylindrical equidistant projection
Cylindrical stereographic projection
Transverse Mercator projection
Universal Transverse Mercator projection
Miscellaneous Projections
Eckert IV equal-area projection
Eckert VI equal-area projection
