In terms of usage this projection is identical to the Lambert
azimuthal equal-area projection. Thus, one can make both
rectangular and hemispheric maps. Our example shows Australia
using a projection pole at 130E/30
S. The command used was

By choosing 0

as the pole, we obtain the conformal
stereonet presented next to its equal-area cousin in the Section 5.3.1 on
the Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection (Figure 5.11).
