Tobler introduced the construction in 1973 as the ''hyperelliptical'' projection, now usually known as the Tobler hyperelliptical projection.

Their spacing is calculated to provide the equal-area property. The projection blends the cylindrical equal-area projection, which has straight, vertical Meridian (geography), meridians, with meridians that follow a particular kind of curve known as ''superellipses'' or ''Gabriel Lamé, Lamé curves'' or sometimes as ''hyperellipses''.

Chocolat Tobler
Toblerone ( , ) is a Swiss chocolate brand produced in Bern. Toblerone is known for its distinctive shape, a series of joined triangular prisms and lettering engraved in the chocolate. Since 2012, the brand has been owned by US company Mondelez International (successor of Kraft Foods Inc., which had acquired Toblerone from owner Jacobs Suchard in 1990).

In 1908, Emil Baumann, the cousin of Theodor Tobler, created the unique recipe consisting of milk chocolate including nougat, almonds, and honey.
