Welcome to Flex Projector

Flex Projector is a freeware, cross-platform application for creating custom world map projections. The intuitive interface allows users to easily modify dozens of popular world map projections—the possibilities range from slight adjustments to making completely new projections. Flex Projector is intended as a tool for practicing mapmakers and students of cartography.

Flex Projector was developed by Bernhard Jenny, Institute of Cartography, ETH Zurich, with assistance from Tom Patterson, US National Park Service.

New 1: Projector has now reached Beta status. The current version 0.106 beta dates from 16 January 2009.

New 2: Cartographic Perspectives, the journal of the North American Cartographic Information Society (NACIS), published an article on Flex Projector:
Flex Projector—Interactive Software for Designing World Map Projections (PDF, 2 MB).

Important: Flex Projector and this website are both still under development. Features and algorithms may change in the future. If you have any comments or suggestions for improvements, please contact us.
