[OSRS-PROJ] projection formulation

[a a]

Gerald,
 
Thanks for responding.
 
gdalwarptest is an application that is part of the GDAL (http://remotesensing.org/gdal/) project.  gdalwarptest can be used to reproject a raster file.  gdalwarptest seems to make use of the Proj4 library for its reprojection work.
 
>From your last sentence, I take it that (currently) there is not a PROJ projection formulation for the "projection" that I described.  If I am correct, where would the new projection code be added; and is there a projection that is already coded that I could look at as an example?
 
Thanks.
 
    Mike

What is "gdalwarptest?"

What you seem to be describing is the segmented global map divided
into equatorial and polar regions. So? This is not the first time
although the latitude of transition is normally further North & South.

Segmenting a map (a good example is the typical display of Goode's
projection in most atlas' as well as in PROJ's manual is a graphical
operation. Windowing and clipping of data into the segments is
not a function of PROJ. PROJ is used only in projecting the data
using unique initializations for each window segment.

For the rather bizarre polar regions, a PROJ projection would have
to be developed mathematically and coded.
