Correctly proportion a lat/lon plot

Correctly proportions a lat/lon plot based on a spherical Earth assumption

You are now following this Submission

LAT_LON_PROPORTIONS Scales a plot in latitude & longitude axis to
meters. It will compress the x axis by cos(latitude) in order to
reflect the relationship between a degree latitude and a degree
longitude at the center of the map. The major assumption here is
sperical Earth.
