| contents | Hourglass is an equal-area pseudocylindrical map projection developed by John P. Snyder in mid 1940s. It was never published in a detailed way by its author, and only a couple of references exist in literature since 1991, both of them including a picture but without any mathematical description. In this work the equations for the ellipsoid and for the sphere are derived, both for direct and inverse problems, together with a generalization that allow meridians not restricted to straight lines as in the original Snyder's version. Although not useful for world maps, the projection can be employed for mapping areas around their standard parallels. |
