%EQDCONIC  Equidistant Conic Projection
%
%  In this projection, scale is true along each meridian and the one or
%  two selected standard parallels.  Scale is constant along any
%  parallel.  This projection is free of distortion along the two
%  standard parallels.  Distortion is constant along any other parallel.
%  This projection provides a compromise in distortion between conformal
%  and equal area conic projections, of which it is neither.
%
%  In a rudimentary form, this projection dates back to Claudius Ptolemy,
%  about A.D. 100.  Improvements were developed by Johannes Ruysch in
%  1508, Gerardus Mercator in the late 16th century, and Nicolas de
%  l'Isle in 1745.  It is also known as the Simple Conic or Conic
%  projection.  The cone of projection has interesting limiting forms.
%  If a pole is selected as a single standard parallel, the cone is a
%  plane, and an Equidistant Azimuthal projection results.  If the
%  Equator is so chosen, the cone becomes a cylinder and a Plate
%  Carree projection results.  If two parallels equidistant from
%  the Equator are chosen as the standard parallels, an Equidistant
%  Cylindrical projection results.
