type The type attribute specifies the map projection algorithm to be used to draw a map on the screen.

Supporting Tags The type attribute is currently supported by the <projection> tag. The default value is "flat".

Examples <projection type="flat"/> <projection type="polarStereo" centerLat="35" centerLon="-85"/> <projection type="lambertConformal" centerLat="35" centerLon="-85"/> <projection type="albersConicEllipse" centerLat="35" centerLon="-85" stdLat1="30" stdLat2="40"/>

Notes The value of the type attribute may be one of the strings below. value projection flat Flat-earth projection. Latitude and Longitude are orthogonal straight lines. polarStereo Polar Stereographic projection. lambertConformal Lambert conformal conic projection. albersConicSphere Albers conic projection using a spherical approximation of the Earth's shape. albersConicEllipse Albers conic projection using a elliptical approximation of the Earth's shape.
