Lab #3: Mollweide Graticule



For the third lab we were instructed to make a replica of the Mollweide Graticule whose equator is to be exactly 10 inches long and the prime meridian 5 inches high (on the printed version of course). This projection is made using a series of ellipses to create the rounded meridians and straight lines for latitude markers. I included two scales, one is a ratio of the equator and the second a drawn scale to show the relationship between inches and miles.
