Winkel projection

The Winkel projection is a group of three projections proposed by German cartographer Oswald Winkel (7 January 1874 – 18 July 1953) in 1921. Winkel projections use arithmetic mean of the equirectangular projection and other projections. Winkel I projection uses the sinusoidal projection[1], Winkel II projection uses the Mollweide projection[2], and Winkel Tripel (Winkel III) projection uses the Aitoff projection. Winkel I and II projections are pseudocylindrical projections, while Winkel III is an azimuthal projection.

Winkel tripel projection is the most famous projection in these three projections.
