	Winkel Tripel projection - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Winkel's Tripel projection is a map projection developed to show a map of the round Earth on flat paper with minimal distortion.
		It was devised by the cartographer Oswald Winkel as a modification of the Aitoff projection.
		Winkel choose the name Tripel because he had developed a compromise projection; it does not eliminate area, direction or distance distortions; rather, it tries to minimize the sum of all three.

	Map projection
		A map projection is any of many methods used to represent the 3-dimensional surface of the earth or other round body on a 2-dimensional plane in cartography (mapmaking).
		Azimuthal[?] projections touch the earth to a plane at one tangent point; angles from that tangent point are preserved, and distances from that point are computed by a function independent of the angle.
		Cordiform projection[?] designates a pole and a meridian; distances from the pole are preserved, as are distances from the meridian (which is straight) along the parallels.

	Robinson projection - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Presented by Dr. Arthur H. Robinson in 1963, it is classified as a pseudo-cylindrical projection by reason of its straight parallels, along each of which the meridians are spaced Karenthe way he developed the projection as a series of trials, iterating until he settled on the meridian shapes and parallel spacing most pleasing to him.
		He developed the projection under commission from Rand McNally because they were not satisfied with the ability of existing projections to create intuitive depictions of the entire world.
		The projection is neither equal-area nor conformal, abandoning both for a compromise the creator felt produces a better overall view than could be achieved by adhering to either.

	Map Projections: From Spherical Earth to Flat Map
		A projection that maintains accurate distances from the center of the projection or along given lines is called an equidistant projection.
		A projection that maintains accurate directions (and therefore angular relationships) from a given central point is called an azimuthal or zenithal projection.
		Polyconic projection A conic projection projects information from the spherical Earth to a cone that is either tangent to the Earth at a single parallel, or that is secant at two standard parallels.

	Winkel Tripel Projections
		The Winkel Tripel is unusual in that it is created by averaging the X and Y coordinates from two other seldom-used projections: the Aitoff and the Equirectangular.
		The only portions of the Winkel Tripel projection that suffer from severe shape distortion are the polar regions near the east and west edges of the map.
		The only portions of the Winkel Tripel projection that suffer from severe area distortion are the polar regions near the east and west edges of the map.

		In general, and this is true for the projections in the three basic aspects of cylindrical, conic, and azimuthal, scale going away from the center of a map increases for a conformal projection, and decreases for an equal-area projection.
		There is the transverse (or, in the case of an azimuthal projection, equatorial) case, in which the globe has been shifted by 90 degrees before the map is drawn, and there is the oblique case where the globe is shifted by a lesser amount.
		Thus, the transverse case of the Mercator projection is also known as the Gauss Conformal Projection; the transverse case of the Plate Carré projection is known as Cassini's projection.

	Winkel Tripel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		This is a low precision projection as normally used since it is calculated for a sphere and not an ellipsoid.
		The Winkel Tripel is obtained by averaging coordinates of Cylindrical Equidistant and the Aitoff projections.
		Winkel coined the name "tripel" (meaning "triple" in English) to reflect the three step process: project into Cylindrical Equidistant, project into Aitoff and then average the two projections.

		Winkel I was produced in 1914 by averaging the Sinusoidal and cylindrical equidistant projections.
		Winkel, in 1918, took a similar approach in creating his second projection, Winkel II, by averaging the cylindrical equidistant and Mollweide projection.
		Winkel applied the German term Tripel, meaning "a combination of three elements", to suggest that his projection compromises areal, angular, and distance properties resulting in a projection having lower overall distortion than a projection seeking to preserve only one of these properties.

	Arthur H. Robinson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1961, the Rand McNally Company asked Robinson to choose a projection for use as a world map that, among other criteria, was uninterrupted, had limited distortion, and was pleasing to the eye of general viewers.
		Robinson proceeded through an iterative process to create a pseudo-cylindrical projection that intends to strike a compromise between distortions in areas and in distances, in order to attain a more natural visualization.
		In 1988, National Geographic adopted it for their world maps but replaced it in 1998 with the Winkel Tripel projection.

		Mercator projection---A Mercator projection is a type of rectangular map (a cylindrical projection) in which the true compass directions are kept intact (lines of latitude and longitude intersect at right angles), but areas are distorted (for example, polar areas look much larger than they really are).
		A projection is a representation of one thing onto another, such as a curved 3-dimensional surface (like the Earth) onto a flat 2-dimensional map.
		Winkel Tripel projection---A Winkel Tripel projection is a type of pseudocylindrical projection map in which both the lines of latitude and longitude are curved.

	DIVERSOPHY.COM - using the Peters Map
		Mercator's projection (created at a time when navigators were sailing on the oceans in wooden ships, powered by the wind, and navigating by the stars) was particularly useful because straight lines on his projection were lines of constant compass bearing.
		The Peters projection is commonly used in contrast to a Mercator projection, and is visually engaging because it is so jarringly different.
		The Van der Grinten projection was developed in 1904 and was the official projection of the National Geographic Society from 1922 to 1988.

		From 1922 to 1988 the projection used by the NGS for their large world maps was one by Chicgoan Van der Grinten.
		The Robinson projection is somewhat different from almost all others in not being based on mathematical formulas or geometry.
		More recently the National Geographic Society (1998) has began using the Winkel Tripel projection which is a simple average of the equirectangular and one due to Aitoff (similar to the Hammer) with a standard parallel of 50 degrees 28 minutes.

		Here, the projections presented are determined mathematically, and this is done in many cases in ways analogous to those used for the equal-area projections of the preceding chapter.
		In general, the projections in this section are derived, like Winkel's Tripel projection, by applying mathematical transformations to existing projections.

		Your basic problem would appear to be defining the map extents in degrees but declaring the coordinate system to be winkel tripel.

		IOW, for each cell in the destination location, it transforms the coordinates of the cell's centre using the inverse projection, to get a coordinate in the source location.
		It then reads the value of the cell at that coordinate from the source raster, and stores the value in the original cell in the destination location.
		Ultimately, if you want to project into a location whose projection doesn't have a defined inverse, you will have to convert to sites project that (s.proj/v.proj use the forward projection), then convert back to raster.
