问题
I am trying to modify this custom-projection example:
- http://matplotlib.org/examples/api/custom_projection_example.html
to display a Schmidt plot. The mathematics behind the projection are explained e.g. here:
- https://bearspace.baylor.edu/Vince_Cronin/www/StructGeol/StructLabBk3.html
I made some modifications of the example which brought me closer to the solution but I am still doing something wrong. Anything I change within the function transform_non_affine makes the plot look worse. It would be great if somebody could explain to me how this function can be modified.
I also looked at the example at
- https://github.com/joferkington/mplstereonet/blob/master/mplstereonet/stereonet_transforms.py
but couldn't really figure out how to translate that into the example.
def transform_non_affine(self, ll):
"""
Override the transform_non_affine method to implement the custom
transform.
The input and output are Nx2 numpy arrays.
"""
longitude = ll[:, 0:1]
latitude = ll[:, 1:2]
# Pre-compute some values
half_long = longitude / 2.0
cos_latitude = np.cos(latitude)
sqrt2 = np.sqrt(2.0)
alpha = 1.0 + cos_latitude * np.cos(half_long)
x = (2.0 * sqrt2) * (cos_latitude * np.sin(half_long)) / alpha
y = (sqrt2 * np.sin(latitude)) / alpha
return np.concatenate((x, y), 1)
The whole code can be run and shows the result:

This is the closest I get to the wanted solution:
With this code:

output_dims = 2
is_separable = False
def __init__(self):
Transform.__init__(self)

self._center_longitude = 0

def transform_non_affine(self, ll):
longitude = ll[:, 0:1]
latitude = ll[:, 1:2]
clong = self._center_longitude
clat = self._center_latitude
cos_lat = np.cos(latitude)
sin_lat = np.sin(latitude)
diff_long = longitude - clong
cos_diff_long = np.cos(diff_long)
inner_k = (1.0 + np.sin(clat)*sin_lat + np.cos(clat)*cos_lat*cos_diff_long)
# Prevent divide-by-zero problems
inner_k = np.where(inner_k == 0.0, 1e-15, inner_k)
k = np.sqrt(2.0 / inner_k)
x = k*cos_lat*np.sin(diff_long)
y = k*(np.cos(clat)*sin_lat - np.sin(clat)*cos_lat*cos_diff_long)
return np.concatenate((x, y), 1)
Is there maybe a way to just do this with a regular transformation matrix? I can get the math to work with a transformation matrix, but I don't really understand at which place of the projection code I have to change what.
回答1:
I could figure out the next step by reading the chapter about Lambert azimuthal equal-area projections in Map projections: A Working Manual - John Parr Snyder 1987 - Page 182 and following (http://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/pp1395).
The projection I was actually looking for was the one with Equatorial aspect.
The two formulas that are required for the transformation are (radius is not required for the later code):
y = R * k' * sin(phi)
x = R * k' * cos(phi) sin(lambda - lambda0)
With k being:
k = sqrt( 2 / (1 + cos(phi) cos(lambda - lambda0))
I got some errors, which turned out to be infinite values and divisions by zero, so I added some checks. Still getting some weird label placements, but that might be going off-topic in this question. The very rough code I have running now is:
def transform_non_affine(self, ll):
xi = ll[:, 0:1]
yi = ll[:, 1:2]
k = 1 + np.absolute(cos(yi) * cos(xi))
k = 2 / k
if np.isposinf(k[0]) == True:
k[0] = 1e+15
if np.isneginf(k[0]) == True:
k[0] = -1e+15
if k[0] == 0:
k[0] = 1e-15
k = sqrt(k)
x = k * cos(yi) * sin(xi)
y = k * sin(yi)
return np.concatenate((x, y), 1)
