Add another world projection #539

Open orwant opened 9 years ago

orwant commented 9 years ago 
What would you like to see us add to this API?

Option of choosing different world projection, e.g. Robinson. The current one, Mercator,
makes too many countries too small.

What component is this issue related to (PieChart, LineChart, DataTable,
Query, etc)?

GeoMap

Here you can find a good Robinson projection, which is a pseudo-cylindrical projection.
 It has the advantage of not showing Greenland to be the same size as South America.

agreed. for example in the current projection, Greenland is bigger than Australia.
