Adding isea to proj4 make PJ_isea.c cp PJ_isea.c path/to/proj-4.7.0 cd path/to/proj-4.7.0 patch -p1 < ../isea/proj4.patch now build proj.4 as usual for your system -- postgis There is too much numerical instability to try to project directly with postgis. The interruptions make it almost impossible to reconstitute the input polygons. Might be able to do it by computing segments, and then ordering the segments in crossing order. ISEA Params Aperture will set the scaling property Resolution is either the resolution level for the given aperture, or the total number of hexes along a triangle side if aperture is zero. I think the ISEA plane projection is offsetting to avoid negative Y coords.
