  Graphical projection - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Graphical projection is a protocol by which an image of an imaginary three-dimensional object is projected onto a plane surface without the aid of mathematical calculation.
Orthographic projection is derived from the principles of descriptive geometry and may produce an image of a specified, imaginary object as viewed from any direction of space.
In dimetric pictorials (for protocols see dimetric projection), the direction of viewing is such that two of the three axes of space appear equally foreshortened, of which the attendant scale and angles of presentation are determined according to the angle of viewing; the scale of the third direction (vertical) is determined separately.

 Orthographic projection - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Orthographic multiview projection is derived from the principles of descriptive geometry and may produce an image of a specified, imaginary object as viewed from any direction of space.
Orthographic projection is distinguished by parallel projectors emanating from all points of the imaged object and which intersect a plane of projection at right angles.
Fig.14-16: The various planes of projection are unfolded to be planar with the Frontal plane of projection.

 8.4.3. How do you project reliability at use conditions?
Reliability projections based on failure data from high stress tests are based on assuming we know the correct acceleration model for the failure mechanism under investigation and we are also using the correct life distribution model.
Projection to use conditions after a single cell at high stress is run as a line reliability monitor.
The second type of use projection was used in the section on lognormal and Weibull tests, in which we judged new lots of product by looking at the proportion of failures in a sample tested at high stress.

 Orthographic projection - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
In first-angle projection, each view of the object is projected in the direction (sense) of sight of the object, onto the interior walls of the box i.e the each view of the object is drawn on the opposite side of the box:
In third-angle projection, each view of the object is projected opposite to the direction (sense) of sight, onto the (transparent) exterior walls of the box i.e, the each view of the object is drawn on the same side of the box:
One way to consider the projections is that with Third-Angle projections, the projection on the left corresponds to holding the object in one's hand and turning it clockwise as seen from above (conventionally called to the left), while in First-Angle projections, one turns the object counter-clockwise (conventionally called to the right).

 Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Projection   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
In mathematics a projection is a linear transformation which remains unchanged if applied twice (p(u) = p(p(u))) (in other words, it is idempotent), such as that taking (x, y, z) in three dimensions to (x, y, 0) in the plane or generalisations of this in other dimensions.
In mathematics a projection is also a mapping that takes an element to the equivalence class it is in, and mapping an element (x,y) of a Cartesian product to x or y, mapping a function f to the value f (x) for a fixed x, etc.
In cinematography, projection is the display of a movie in a theater using a movie projector, which is likely to be replaced by digital projection

Preferably, the portions of the object having a projection outside a line taken between the two control points are determined to have a color substantially the same as the closest one of the control points (5,6).
Further, portions of the graphical object that have a projection outside a line taken between the two control points can be determined to have a color substantially the same as the closest one of the control points.
The apparatus can further comprise means for determining the color of portions of the graphical object having a projection outside a line extending between the two control points whereby the color of each portion is assigned to be substantially the same as that of the closest one of the control points.

The convention is that the two vertical bonds in the projection are pointing behind the plane of projection (plane of paper sheet), and the two horizontal bonds are pointing towards the viewer.
One of the remaining atoms is oriented behind the plane of projection (dashed bond), one towards the viewer (boldface bond).
This projection is difficult to use with acyclic molecules but is most popular for representation of cyclic molecules e.g.

An automatic projection method known as the grand tour [6], is a method for viewing multidimensional data via orthogonal projection onto a sequence of two-dimensional subspaces.
A graphical representation of this data set is to color-code each value in the table according to a color mapping scheme.
The graphical pattern of the underlying data is shown by coloring each tile on the basis of the numerical value corresponding to the tile.

There are three categories of low dimensional projection techniques according to the way axes of the projection are composed: (1) General projection methods use a linear/nonlinear combination of dimensions for an axis of the projection plane.
It is also possible to manually browse projections by rapidly changing the dimension for an axis using the item slider attached to the corresponding axis of the projection view (histogram and boxplot for 1D, and scatterplot for 2D).
Histograms graphically reveal the scale and skewness of the data, the number of modes, gaps, and outliers in the data.

Non-parametric models, which do not fix the structure in the data, for example, kernel density estimation and smoothing, suffer from the „curse of Dimensionality“, which means we need increasingly many observations to be confident that the estimate is reasonable as the dimension encreases.
The power of using projections in exploratory data analysis is a consequence of the theorem of Craér-Wold (Mardia, Kent & Bibby 1979): The distribution of a random p-vector X is completely determined by the set of all one-dimensional distributions of linear combinations  EINBETTEN Equation.3  where  EINBETTEN Equation.3  through all fixed p-vectors.
Thus we have to visit all 2-dimensional projections, as it is done in the Grand Tour (Asimov 1985), but as the dimensions increases we need a longer time to view a dense set of projections.

The stereographic projection is developed as though the Earth were hollow and rays of light defining the features were emanating from a point on the other side of the Earth from the tangency point, that is to say, from the point antipodal to the tangency point.
The Mercator projection appears somewhat as though it might be developed by projecting rays from the center of a hollow Earth onto a cylindrical screen wrapped around it, touching at the Equator.
This projection is particularly useful in depicting the paths of polar orbiting satellites.
