Thanks. Please clarify what you mean by "implementing"? You're looking for
the Proj.4 commands that will pull this off? Or you're coding this as an
additional projection in your instance of Proj.4? Or you are coding this
projection in some language other than Python independent of Proj.4 and
thought the members of this forum could offer some guidance. Pardon me if
I've missed the obvious. -Noel

I meant ellipsoid and sphere; I apologize for confusing those terms.
I am trying to implement the HEALPix projection from a python
implementation from one of our team members. The python version has
methods for projecting onto an ellipsoid as well as a sphere. The
python version's forward and inverse ellipsoid functions call the
forward and inverse sphere functions.
We will also be implementing a new projection called an rHEALPix which
is documented here:

Thank you for your help!
