PlotMapProjection

Selects the underlying projection of PlotMap.

Robinson

The Robinson projection, presented by Arthur H. Robinson in 1963, is a modified cylindrical projection that is neither conformal nor equal-area. Central meridian and all parallels are straight lines; other meridians are curved. It uses lookup tables rather than analytic expressions to make the world map look right.

Name	Type	Annotation
centralMeridian	angle	central meridian [degree]

Orthographic

The orthographic azimuthal projection is a perspective projection from infinite distance. It is therefore often used to give the appearance of a globe viewed from space.

Name	Type	Annotation
lambdaCenter	angle	central point [degree]
phiCenter	angle	central point [degree]

Perspective sphere

The orthographic azimuthal projection is a perspective projection from infinite distance. It is therefore often used to give the appearance of a globe viewed from space.

Name	Type	Annotation
lambdaCenter	angle	longitude of central point in degrees
phiCenter	angle	latitude of central point in degrees
altitude	double	[km]
azimuth	angle	to the east of north of view [degrees]
tilt	angle	upward tilt of the plane of projection, if negative, then the view is centered on the horizon [degrees]
viewpointTwist	angle	clockwise twist of the viewpoint [degrees]
viewpointWidth	angle	width of the viewpoint [degrees]
viewpointHeight	angle	height of the viewpoint [degrees]

Polar

Stereographic projection around given central point.

Name	Type	Annotation
lambdaCenter	angle	longitude of central point in degrees
phiCenter	angle	latitude of central point in degrees

Skyplot

Skyplot used to plot azimuth/elevation data as generated by GnssAntennaDefinition2Skyplot or GnssResiduals2Skyplot.

UTM

A particular subset of the transverse Mercator is the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) which was adopted by the US Army for large-scale military maps. Here, the globe is divided into 60 zones between 84$^{o}$S and 84$^{o}$N, most of which are 6$^{o}$ wide. Each of these UTM zones have their unique central meridian.

Name	Type	Annotation
zone	string	UTM zone code (e.g. 33N)

Lambert

This conic projection was designed by Lambert (1772) and has been used extensively for mapping of regions with predominantly east-west orientation.

Name	Type	Annotation
lambda0	angle	longitude of projection center [deg]
phi0	angle	latitude of projection centert [deg]
phi1	angle	latitude of first standard parallel [deg]
phi2	angle	latitude of first standard parallel [deg]

Linear

Linear mapping of longitude/latitude to x/y (Plate Caree).

Mollweide

This pseudo-cylindrical, equal-area projection was developed by Mollweide in 1805. Parallels are unequally spaced straight lines with the meridians being equally spaced elliptical arcs. The scale is only true along latitudes 40$^{o}$44' north and south. The projection is used mainly for global maps showing data distributions.
