Vectors for Goode's Homolosine projection

Creators

  • 1. ISRIC - World Soil Information

Description

This dataset contains useful vector maps to work with with Goode's Homolosine projection. The list of files included are:

  •  CounterDomain.geojson - a polygonal approximation of the Homolosine projection counter-domain. This can be used to fix vectors wrongly  projected by programmes that consider the counter-domain to be infinite. It can also be used to represent the seas in global mapping.
  •  ParallelsMeridians.geojson - a set of meridians and parallels to be used in the creation of global maps.
  • Homolosine.crs - the PROJ string defining the Homolosine projection (referenced by the GeoJSON slides)
  • LICENCE - full text of the licence (EUPL-1.2)

These datasets were generated with the open souce programme homolosine-vectors, available at: https://gitlab.com/ldesousa/homolosine-vectors
