  2. List of map projections - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_map_projections

    Gott, Goldberg and Vanderbei’s double-sided disk map was designed to minimize all six types of map distortions. Not properly "a" map projection because it is on two surfaces instead of one, it consists of two hemispheric equidistant azimuthal projections back-to-back.

    Examples of pseudocylindrical projections include: Sinusoidal, which was the first pseudocylindrical projection developed. On the map, as in reality, ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descriptive_geometry

    Example of the use of descriptive geometry to find the shortest connector between two skew lines. The red, yellow and green highlights show distances which are the same for projections of point P. Given the X, Y and Z coordinates of P, R, S and U, projections 1 and 2 are drawn to scale on the X-Y and X-Z planes, respectively.

  5. Psychological projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_projection

    Psychological projection is a defence mechanism of alterity concerning "inside" content mistaken to be coming from the "outside" Other. [1] It forms the basis of empathy by the projection of personal experiences to understand someone else's subjective world. [ 1 ]

  6. Conformal map projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conformal_map_projection

    In cartography, a conformal map projection is one in which every angle between two curves that cross each other on Earth (a sphere or an ellipsoid) is preserved in the image of the projection; that is, the projection is a conformal map in the mathematical sense. For example, if two roads cross each other at a 39° angle, their images on a map ...

  7. Azimuthal equidistant projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azimuthal_equidistant...

    A useful application for this type of projection is a polar projection which shows all meridians (lines of longitude) as straight, with distances from the pole represented correctly. The flag of the United Nations contains an example of a polar azimuthal equidistant projection.

  8. Goode homolosine projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goode_homolosine_projection

    Goode homolosine projection of the world. Tissot indicatrix on Goode homolosine projection, 15° graticule. The Goode homolosine projection (or interrupted Goode homolosine projection) is a pseudocylindrical, equal-area, composite map projection used for world maps. Normally it is presented with multiple interruptions, most commonly of the ...

  9. 3D projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_projection

    These projections rely on visual perspective and aspect analysis to project a complex object for viewing capability on a simpler plane. 3D projections use the primary qualities of an object's basic shape to create a map of points, that are then connected to one another to create a visual element. The result is a graphic that contains conceptual ...
