SetProjection(m,proj);
m
-
a WorldMap object
proj
the name of a projection, optionally including parameters if applicable
The SetProjection command sets the default projection of m.
This projection is the one that is used by default when calling Display, and when printing a world map object. It is also the projection that is considered when using ResetView.
proj must be the name of a valid projection (see the full List of Projections), optionally including parameters if applicable (for example, CylindricalEqualArea(37.5)).
When the map is displayed after setting the center, it now uses the LambertAzimuthalEqualArea projection.
This projection is also the one now used by default with the Display command.
The DataSets[Builtin][WorldMap][SetProjection] command was introduced in Maple 2017.
