The Bertin 1953 projection is intended for making world maps. Created by Jacques Bertin
in 1953, this projection was the go-to choice of the French cartographic school when they
wished to represent phenomena on a global scale. The projection was formulated in 2017
by Philippe Rivière for visionscarto.net.


Usage
###############################################################################

The Bertin 1953 projection has no special options. Its rotation parameters
are fixed. Here is an example of a forward projection with scale 1:

    $ echo 122 47 | src/proj +proj=bertin1953 +R=1
    0.72    0.73

Parameters
