How can I do a lambert-azimuthal equal area projection with the mapproj package? http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/mapproj/mapproj.pdf
There is
azequalarea() equal-area
and
lambert(lat0,lat1) conformal, true scale on lat0 and lat1
What one is closests to lambert-azimuthal equal area projection?
In package mapproj, and the function mapproject(), it seems that the Lambert-azimuthal equal area projection would be azequalarea() since lambert(lat0,lat1) is the Lambert Conformal Conic projection (since it is listed in the manual in the Polar conic projections symmetric about the Prime Meridian).
In package GEOmap, the projection is done using function lamaz.eqarea().
In package rgdal, it is done with a call to function spTransform() containing a proj4 string starting with +proj=laea.
