I'd like to build globes for earth and other planets.
I found out that turning a mercator projection into "gores" allows building a globe, but it has very low precision on poles. I'd need this kind of foldable map: http://astrogeology.usgs.gov/Gallery/MapsAndGlobes/ I'd need a program able to take a generic merkator [mercator] projection in input to give out such a "foldable map". This program from NASA does lots of projections, but not the one I need: http://www.giss.nasa.gov/tools/gprojector/ This GIMP plugin creates equatore-centred gores, which is NOT what I need: http://www.vendian.org/mncharity/dir3/planet_globes/ Other "gores" plugins: http://www.flamingpear.com/download.html (look for FLEXIFY 2) http://www.bruno.postle.net/neatstuff/ip-slicer/ |
