+********************************************************************************
+Dymaxion Fuller
+********************************************************************************
+
+The Dymaxion Fuller map projection is a icosahedron polyhedral projection that intends
+to lay out most of continental landmasses unto a flat surface with as few land cuts
+as possible while minimizing scale and angular distorsion.
+In comparison to the Snyder's Icosahedral Equal Area, this projection relies on a specific way 
+to orient and cut the icosahedron so that most interruptions lie in the ocean. The projection
+was first invented by Buckminster Fuller in 1943 using a cubostahedron as basis.
+The idea to use an icosahedron came later in 1954, and it wasn't until 1978 that the projection 
+was formally mathematically defined :cite:`Gray1995`.
