coordinate system - Is it possible to use the Goode Homolosine projection in QGIS?


Is it possible to use the Goode Homolosine projection in QGIS? Both QGIS and GRASS seem to have trouble with the interruptions, squashing the higher latitudes together. I tried +proj=goode +ellps=sphere +datum=wgs84 as a custom CRS.



Answer




There has been a question on interrupted projections before: Discontinuous or Interrupted map projections?


The conclusion was that proj4 (which is used for projection handling in QGIS and GRASS) does not support interrupted projections.
