Cylindrical equal-area

This cylindrical projection is actually several projections, depending on what latitude is selected as the standard parallel. However, they are all equal area and hence non-conformal. All meridians and parallels are straight lines.

Ylon0/lat0/width: Give central meridian lon0, the standard parallel lat0, and the figure width.
