Cylindrical equidistant¶
This simple cylindrical projection is really a linear scaling of longitudes and latitudes. The most common form is the Plate Carrée projection, where the scaling of longitudes and latitudes is the same. All meridians and parallels are straight lines.
qscale or Qwidth
The projection is set with q or Q, and the figure size is set with scale or width.
