Sinusoidal

The Sinusoidal projection is pseudocylindrical and equal-area. The central meridian is a straight line. All other meridians are shown as equally spaced sinusoidal curves. Parallels are equally spaced straight lines. Poles are points. Scale is true along central meridian and all parallels. The Sinusoidal projection is used for maps of South America and Africa.  

The "Sinusoidal" projection has the following parameters:

• False Northing

• False Easting

• Longitude of the Central Meridian
