public class LambertAzimuthalEqualArea
extends AzimuthalProjection

The LambertAzimuthalEqualArea projection has following properties (From J.S. Snyder, Map Projections a Working Manual p. 182):

• Azimuthal
• Equal-Area
• All meridians in the polar aspect, the central meridian in other aspects, and the Equator in the equatorial aspect are straight lines
• The outer meridian of a hemisphere in the equatorial aspect (for the sphere) and the parallels in the polar aspect (sphere or ellipsoid) are circles.
• All other meridians and the parallels are complex curves
• Not a perspective projection
• Scale decreases radially as the distance increases from the center, the only point without distortion
• Directions from the center are true for the sphere and the polar ellipsoidal forms.
• Point opposite the center is shown as a circle surrounding the map (for the sphere).
• Used for maps of continents and hemispheres
• presented by lambert in 1772

The difference to orthographic and stereographic projection, comes from the spacing between the parallels. The space decreases with increasing distance from the pole. The opposite pole not visible on either the orthographic or stereographic may be shown on the lambert as a large circle surrounding the map, almost half again as far as the equator from the center. Normally the projectction is not shown beyond one hemisphere (or beyond the equator in the polar aspect).

It is known to be used by following epsg transformations:

• EPSG:3035
