The Azimuthal Equal Area projection is an equal-area projection with the azimuthal property showing true directions from the center of the projection. Its scale at a given distance from the center, varies less from the scale at the center, than the scale of any of the other azimuthal projections.
This projection provides an optional parameter that will rotate the planar coordinates by the specified amount after the projection (or before the inverse). The value should be provided as an angular value east of north. If this parameter is not provided, it will default to 0 (no rotation).
