Kavraisky V Projection
Classification
Pseudocylindrical

Graticule
Meridians: Complex curves converging at the poles. A sine function is used for y, but the meridians are not sine curves.
Parallels: Unequally spaced straight lines.
Poles: Points.
Symmetry: About the Equator and the central meridian.
Features
This is an equal-area projection. Scale is true along the fixed standard parallels at 35º, and 0.9 true along the Equator. This projection is neither conformal nor equidistant.
Parallels
The fixed standard parallels are at 35º.
Example
landareas = shaperead('landareas.shp','UseGeoCoords',true); axesm ('kavrsky5', 'Frame', 'on', 'Grid', 'on'); geoshow(landareas,'FaceColor',[1 1 .5],'EdgeColor',[.6 .6 .6]); tissot;
