  • Some refactoring of the map projection class hierarchy, chiefly that cylindric and pseudocylindric projections now subclass from CylindricProjection and PseudoCylindricProjection classes.
  • Added ability to label grid for cylindric projections. (Library only. Not enabled in G.Projector app.)
  • Wrote custom UI to improve appearance of comboboxes with long lists of items (i.e., the projection list).

New in G.Projector 1.4.6 Build B4D1 (Aug 10, 2011)

  • Added Gott-Mugnolo Azimuthal projection (#95).
  • Bugfix: Broken URL for application homepage in Help menu and splash window.

New in G.Projector 1.4.3 Build A2B1 (Feb 12, 2010)

  • Miller Cylindric I projection re-labeled as just "Miller Cylindric". Miller's equations allowed for an infinite number of possible variations but he indicated that just one met his requirements.
  • Times Atlas projection revised to use Snyder (1993) equations rather than Snyder (1977). Parallels poleward of ±70° are lengthened, with the pole lines becoming 10% longer.
  • Added Gott Equal-Area Elliptical projection (#89).
  • Added Mayr projection (#90), using Ipbüker's Maclaurin series expansion to evaluate the elliptic integral.
  • Added Tobler G1 projection (#91).
  • Apian Globular II projection re-labeled as just "Apian II".
  • Ortelius Oval modified to allow for choice of hemispheric or global display.
  • Bugfix: Raisz Half-Ellipsoidal was not auto-scaled to fill map area for any tilt angle.
  • Bugfix: Lines of latitude were double drawn in many projections (all azimuthals, polyconics, orthoapsidals).
  • Bugfix: Meridians were drawn even when underlying map border in most projections (all cylindrics, pseudocylindrics, polyconics, orthoapsidals).
  • Library: (Mac) Quaqua FC updated to version 6.4.

New in G.Projector 1.4.2 Build A1N1 (Jan 26, 2010)

  • Added Hill Eucyclic projection (#86).
  • Apian Globular II modified to allow for choice of hemispheric or global display.
  • Added Fournier Globular I projection (#87).
  • Improved drawing of meridians in Eckert III and Eckert IV projections.
  • Added Bacon Globular projection (#88).
  • Library: (Mac) Upgrade Quaqua FC to version 6.3.1.
  • Bugfix: Conic projections drawing continental outlines outside right and bottom margins.

New in G.Projector 1.3.2 Build 9AP1 (Oct 26, 2009)

  • Bugfix: Overlay menus in preferences window threw exception when "" selected.
  • Bugfix: Controls for second overlay in preferences window not initialized to correct values.
  • Bugfix: Meridians interrupted by small gaps near equator in several projections.

New in G.Projector 1.3.1 Build 99V1 (Oct 1, 2009)

  • Added ability to save plot images in uncompressed TIFF format.
  • Added ability to save plot images in JPEG format.
  • Improved handling of gridline and outline drawing near edges of regional map projections (e.g., azimuthals with small radius).
  • Bugfix: Wagner V projection not quite right due to a constant term omitted by source text originally used for projection equations.
  • Bugfix: Sorting of projection names was not locale-friendly (i.e., Érdi-Krausz in wrong menu position).
  • Library: (Mac) Upgrade Quaqua FC to version 6.0.1.
