https://communities.sas.com/t5/Graphics-Programming/Projection-used-to-create-maps-us/m-p/45598#M1518 I've been unsuccessful finding documentation for map datasets in the SAS library. The dataset maps.us is a projected dataset. Assuming it was projected as 3 (or 4) separate datasets, with AK, HI, (PR), and Contiguous states separately projected, what projection was used for the Contiguous states? If it is Albers, what were the standard parallels?<BR /> <BR /> -Eric Wed, 06 Apr 2011 19:21:55 GMT willhunt 2011-04-06T19:21:55Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/Graphics-Programming/Projection-used-to-create-maps-us/m-p/45598#M1518 I've been unsuccessful finding documentation for map datasets in the SAS library.
