faire une compromis entre les distortions en formes et mesures des continents

une choix des projections (en cartographie):

projection azimutale = azimuthal projection
projection conforme = conformal representation
projection conique = conical projection
projection cylindrique = cilindrical projection
projection équatoriale ou stéroéographique = stereographic projection
projection horizontale = horizontal projection
projection Mercartor = Mercartor\'s projection
projection orthograhique = orthographic projection
projection polyédriqe ou polycentrique = polyhedral projection

perhaps one of this list has properties which fits your question
