He also invented the equirectangular projection, which is still used in map creation today.

On some map projections, including the Equirectangular projection, they are drawn at equidistant intervals.

The equirectangular projection (also called the geographic projection) is a simple map view made about 100 AD.

If the mesh is a UV sphere, for example, the modeler might transform it into an equirectangular projection.

North-south distances neither stretched nor compressed (1): equirectangular projection or "plate carrée".

The aspect ratio of this projection is 2:1, which is equal to that of the Equirectangular projection.

Panoramic Equirectangular Projection, PanoTools wiki.

The data format for SOS datasets is the equidistant cylindrical equatorial projection, also referred to as equirectangular projection, as shown by the map to the right.

Suhrāb, a late 10th-century Muslim geographer, accompanied a book of geographical coordinates with instructions for making a rectangular world map, with equirectangular projection or cylindrical equidistant projection.

Spherical projection or equirectangular projection - which is strictly speaking another cylindrical projection - where the stitched image shows a 360 horizontal by 180 vertical field of view i.e. the whole sphere.

This is also a feature of sixteenth century plane charts (equirectangular projections) but they also have equally spaced parallels; in Legend 3 Mercator also emphasizes the distortion that this gives rise to.

The sphere may then be projected to the plane with an equirectangular projection to give a double projection from the ellipsoid to the plane such that all meridians have true length and uniform meridian scale.

It is the transverse aspect of the equirectangular projection, in that the globe is first rotated so the central meridian becomes the "equator", and then the normal equirectangular projection is applied.

The projection is the arithmetic mean of the equirectangular projection and the Aitoff projection: The name Tripel (German for "triple") refers to Winkel's goal of minimizing three kinds of distortion: area, direction and distance.
