The AuthaGraph world map can be tiled in any direction without visible seams. From this map-tiling, a new world map with [[triangular]], [[rectangular]] or a [[parallelogram]]'s outline can be framed with various regions at its center. This [[tessellation]] allows for depicting temporal themes, such as a satellite's long-term movement around the
