Adams hemisphere-in-a-square projection

The Adams-hemisphere-in-a-square is a conformal map map projection for a hemisphere (except for four points where the conformality fails). It is a transverse version of the Peirce quincuncial projection. When it is used to represent the entire sphere it is known as the "Adams doubly periodic projection".
