The Behrmann projection with Tissot's indicatrices The Mercator projection with Tissot's indicatrices. In cartography, a Tissot's indicatrix (Tissot indicatrix, Tissot's ellipse, Tissot ellipse, ellipse of distortion) (plural: "Tissot's indicatrices") is a mathematical contrivance presented by French mathematician Nicolas Auguste Tissot in 1859 and 1871 in order to characterize local ...
In the book, Tissot argued for his method, reportedly demonstrating that "whatever the system of transformation, there is at each point on the spherical surface at least one pair of orthogonal directions which will also be orthogonal on the projection." [5] Tissot employed a graphical device he called the ellipse indicatrice or distortion ...
Direct application of the orthographic projection yields scattered points in (x, y), which creates problems for plotting and numerical integration. One solution is to start from the ( x , y ) projection plane and construct the image from the values defined in ( λ , φ ) by using the inverse formulas of the orthographic projection.

“Tissot’s indicatrix of deformation” is not a name; it is a description. “Tissot’s indicatrix” is what appears in the literature. Strebe ( talk ) 23:08, 9 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ]
Winkel tripel projection of the world, 15° graticule The Winkel tripel projection with Tissot's indicatrix of deformation The Winkel tripel projection (Winkel III), a modified azimuthal [1] map projection of the world, is one of three projections proposed by German cartographer Oswald Winkel (7 January 1874 – 18 July 1953) in 1921.
