	Map projection - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unavoidably, all cylindrical projections have an east-west stretching away from the equator by a factor equal to the secant of the latitude, compared with the scale at the equator.
		Azimuthal projections have the property that directions from a central point are preserved (and hence, great circles through the central point are represented by straight lines on the map).
		Some azimuthal projections are true perspective projections; that is, they can be constructed mechanically, projecting the surface of the Earth by extending lines from a points of perspective (along an infinite line through the tangent point and the tangent point's antipode) onto the plane.

	Graphical projection -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Graphical projection is a protocol by which an image of an imaginary three-dimensional object is projected onto a plane surface by the use of imaginary "projectors".
		Orthographic projection is derived from the principles of (The geometry of properties that remain invariant under projection) descriptive geometry and may produce an image of a specified, imaginary object as viewed from any direction of space.
		In oblique projections parallel projectors are imagined to emanate from all points of an imaginary object and which strike the projection plane at an angle other than ninety degrees - as opposed to orthographic projectors, which strike the plane of projection at ninety degrees.

	Oblique projection - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In orthographic projection and oblique projection, parallel lines in space appear parallel on the projected image.
		In orthographic projection, a = b = 0, in other cases it is oblique projection.
		In an oblique pictorial drawing, the angles displayed among the axes, as well as the foreshortening factors (scale) are arbitrary.

	PlaneView 3D Planar Geometric Projections Tutorial
		Orthographic projections are one of two projection types derived by subdivision of the parallel projection subclass.
		To project the top view of the 3-D object, the y-coordinates are discarded and the x- and z-coordinates for each point are mapped to the viewplane.
		Trimetric projections have a potential disadvantage in that measurement of lines along the axes is difficult because of a difference in scaling factors.

	Criteria for Choosing a Map Projection (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Projection is mathematically based on a cone that is tangent at one parallel or conceptually secant at two parallels.
		Sinusoidal equal-area projection is mathematically based on a cylinder tangent on the equator and is used as an equal-area projection to portray areas that have a maximum extent in a north-south direction.
		In the secant case of the transverse Mercator projection, lines of equal-scale difference (parallels of the graticule in the normal aspect Mercator's projection) are small circles parallel to the central meridian.

	Projections and Projected Coordinate Systems (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		It has been noted that the Transverse Mercator projection is employed for the topographical mapping of longitudinal bands of territories, limiting the amount of scale distortion by limiting the extent of the projection either side of the central meridian.
		The projection's initial line may be selected as a line with a particular azimuth through a single point, normally at the center of the mapped area, or as the geodesic line (the shortest line between two points on the ellipsoid) between two selected points.
		In the special case of the projection covering the Alaskan panhandle the azimuth of the line at the natural origin is taken to be identical to the azimuth of the initial line at the projection centre.

	Everywhere Displays: Technology
		To correct the distortions caused by oblique projection and by the shape of the projected surface (if not flat), the image to be projected must be inversely distorted prior to projection.
		In a typical situation of oblique projection, the pattern shown in the top-left is projected without any correction, resulting in the bottom-left image.
		In this case, calibration is obtained by interactively grabbing with the mouse each corner of the projected pattern and moving it to the desired location on the surface.

	Map Projections: Oblique projections
		August's conformal projection, both with 15°E, 70°S as the map center: very few oceanic sites (notably the Caribbean sea) are interrupted, and relative sizes of oceans are clearly expressed.
		Oblique maps often make this kind of distortion obvious: notice the New Zealand islands in the Atlantis map, and the east and west coasts of North America in Spilhaus's maps.
		A similar, very simple modification of Hammer's projection was published by William Briesemeister in 1948: the map is first projected obliquely with 10°E 45°N as the central point; then it is linearly stretched to an aspect ratio of 7 : 4 (compare with 2 : 1 for both Mollweide and conventional Hammer).

	EPSG Guidance Note 7
		For the stereographic projection the origin is at the centre of the projection where the plane of the map is imagined to be tangential to the ellipsoid.
		For Conical map projections, which for the normal aspect may be considered as the projection of the ellipsoid onto an enveloping cone in contact with the ellipsoid along a parallel of latitude, the parallel of contact is known as a standard parallel and the scale is regarded as true along this parallel.
		The projection's initial line may be selected as a line with a particular azimuth through a single point, normally at the centre of the mapped area, or as the geodesic line (the shortest line between two points on the ellipsoid) between two selected points.

	Hotine Oblique Mercator (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The EPSG Projection Oblique Mercator with code 9815 indicates that it's formula is really just that of Hotine Oblique Mercator despite the slightly different naming of the false easting and northing.
		EPSG considers the Oblique Mercator and Hotine Oblique Mercator projections as two very similar but separate methods because there is a subtle difference regarding the point at which the rectification from skew grid to map grid and where the false grid coordinates are applied.
		The projection's initial line may be selected as a line with a particular azimuth through a single point, - normally at the centre of the mapped area - or as the geodesic line (the shortest line between two points on the ellipsoid) between two selected points.
