%FLATPLRQ  McBryde-Thomas Flat-Polar Quartic Pseudocylindrical Projection
%
%  This is an equal area projection.  Scale is true along the 33 deg,
%  45 min parallels, and is constant along any parallel and between any
%  pair of parallels equidistant from the Equator.  Distortion is severe
%  near the outer meridians at high latitudes, but less so than on the
%  pointed-polar projections.  It is free of distortion only at the two
%  points where the central meridian intersects the 33 deg, 45 min
%  parallels.  This projection is not conformal or equidistant.
%
%  This projection was presented by F. Webster McBryde and Paul D. Thomas
%  in 1949 and is also known simply as the Flat-Polar Quartic projection.
