********************************************************************************
Icosahedral Snyder Equal Area
********************************************************************************
Snyder's Icosahedral Equal Area map projections on polyhedral globes for the
dodecahedron and truncated icosahedron offer relatively low scale and
angular distortion. The equations involved are relatively straight-forward,
and for certain instructional tools and databases, the projections are useful
for world maps. The interruptions remain a disadvantage, as with any low-error
projection system applied to the entire globe :cite:`Snyder1992`.
