The Van der Grinten projection, presented by Alphons J. van der Grinten in 1904,
is neither equal-area nor conformal. Central meridian
and Equator are straight lines; other meridians are
arcs of circles. The scale is true along the Equator only.
Its main use is to show the entire world enclosed in a circle.
To use it you must enter
<P>
<UL>
<LI>The central meridian [Middle of your map].
</LI>
<LI>Scale along equator in inch/degree or 1:xxxxx (<B>-Jv</B>), or map width (<B>-JV</B>).
