Fig. 3.
Facets of the rhombic dodecahedron which serve as patches in the HealPix representation of the sphere. In sequence, we show the 12 patches decomposed into 1, 4, 16, and 64 pixels. The final representation is obtained by central projection of the pixel centres and a distortion yielding an approximately equal-area decomposition of the sphere (not shown).
