.. _peirce_q:
********************************************************************************
Peirce Quincuncial
********************************************************************************
The Peirce Quincuncial projection is a conformal map projection
that transforms the circle of the northern hemisphere into a square,
and the southern hemisphere split into four triangles arranged
around the square to form a quincunx. The resulting projection
is a regular diamond shape or can be rotated to form a square.
The resulting tile can be infinitely tessellated. Though this implementation
defaults to a central meridian of 0, it is more common to use a central
meridian of around 25 to optimise the distortions. Peirce's original
published map from 1879 used a central meridian of approx -70.
The diamond and square versions can be produced using the
``+type=diamond`` and ``+type=square`` options respectively.
This implementation includes an alternative lateral projection
which places hemispheres side-by-side (``+type=horizontal`` or
``+type=vertical``). Combined with a general oblique transformation,
this can be used to produced a Grieger Triptychial projection
(see example below).

Parameters
################################################################################
.. note:: All parameters are optional.
.. include:: ../options/lon_0.rst
.. option:: +type=square/diamond/horizontal/vertical/nhemisphere/shemisphere
.. versionadded:: 8.2.1
*Defaults to diamond.*
Indicates the type of transformation applied to the southern hemisphere:
``square`` and ``diamond`` represent the traditional quincuncial form suggested
by Peirce with the southern hemisphere divided into 4 triangles and reflected
outward from the northern hemisphere. The ``square`` type is rotated by 45
degrees to produce the conventional square presentation. The origin lies at
the centre of the square or diamond.
By contrast, the ``horizontal`` and ``vertical`` forms reflect the southern
hemisphere laterally across the x or y axis respectively to produce a rectangular
form. The origin lies at the centre of the rectangle.
The other two types, ``nhemisphere`` and ``shemisphere``, discard latitudes of less
than 0 or more than 0, respectively, to allow single hemispheres to be selected.
The origin lies at the centre of the square or diamond.
.. option:: +scrollx=<value>
For ``horizontal`` type allows a scalar circular scroll of resulting x coordinates
to shift sections of the projection to the other horizontal side of the map.
*Defaults to 0.0. Must be a scale between -1.0 and 1.0.*
.. option:: +scrolly=<value>
For ``vertical`` type allows a scalar circular scroll of resulting y coordinates
to shift sections of the projection to the other vertical side of the map.
*Defaults to 0.0. Must be a scale between -1.0 and 1.0.*
