This 'AuthaGraph' World Map is generated through the following process. 1. Globe surface is divided into 96 oblong tiles. 2. These 96 tiles are projected on an inflated tetrahedron having 24 tiles on each face while maintaining the area ratio of each tile. 3. The inflated tetrahedron is flattened into a regular tetrahedron while keeping the area ratio of each tile. 4. A development diagram obtained by cutting out the regular tetrahedron globe becomes a rectangular world map in a √3:4 aspect ratio. 【About AuthaGraph World Map】 Map of the world contains the rectangular plane without about AuthaGraph World Map supplement the shortcomings of existing world map, written almost exactly the shape with the ratio of land and split the sea.
