These are the Hammer, Mollweide, Winkel Tripel, Robinson, Eckert IV and VI, Sinusoidal, and Van der Grinten projections. Due to the small scale used for global maps these projections all use the spherical approximation rather than more elaborate elliptical formulae. <P> In all cases, the specification of the central meridian can be skipped. The default is the middle of the longitude range of the plot, specified by the <B>-(</B>R) option. <P> <BR><HR> <!--Table of Child-Links--> <A NAME="CHILD_LINKS"><STRONG>Subsections</STRONG></A> <UL> <LI><A NAME="tex2html4157" HREF="node113.html">6.4.1 Hammer projection (<B>-Jh</B> <B>-JH</B>)</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html4158" HREF="node114.html">6.4.2 Mollweide projection (<B>-Jw</B> <B>-JW</B>)</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html4159" HREF="node115.html">6.4.3 Winkel Tripel projection (<B>-Jr</B> <B>-JR</B>)</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html4160" HREF="node116.html">6.4.4 Robinson projection (<B>-Jn</B> <B>-JN</B>)</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html4161" HREF="node117.html">6.4.5 Eckert IV and VI projection (<B>-Jk</B> <B>-JK</B>)</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html4162" HREF="node118.html">6.4.6 Sinusoidal projection (<B>-Ji</B> <B>-JI</B>)</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html4163" HREF="node119.html">6.4.7 Van der Grinten projection (<B>-Jv</B> <B>-JV</B>)</A> </UL> <!--End of Table of Child-Links--> <HR> <!--Navigation Panel--> <A NAME="tex2html4155" HREF="node113.html"> <IMG WIDTH="37" HEIGHT="24" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" ALT="next" SRC="next.png"></A> <A NAME="tex2html4149" HREF="node84.html"> <IMG WIDTH="26" HEIGHT="24" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" ALT="up" SRC="up.png"></A> <A NAME="tex2html4145" HREF="node111.html"> <IMG WIDTH="63" HEIGHT="24" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" ALT="previous" SRC="prev.png"></A> <A NAME="tex2html4151" HREF="node1.html"> <IMG WIDTH="65" HEIGHT="24" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" ALT="contents" SRC="contents.png"></A> <A NAME="tex2html4153" HREF="node255.html"> <IMG WIDTH="43" HEIGHT="24" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" ALT="index" SRC="index.png"></A> <BR> <B> Next:</B> <A NAME="tex2html4156" HREF="node113.html">6.4.1 Hammer projection (-Jh</A> <B> Up:</B> <A NAME="tex2html4150" HREF="node84.html">6.
