Soldner
Soldner-Cassini. Projection onto a cylinder. It
is not an equal area or conformal. The scale
is true along the central meridian and along
lines perpendicular to central meridian.
Polar stereo
Polar Stereographic. Conformal azimuthal
projection onto a plane. The point of projec-
tion is on the surface of the ellipsoid diamet-
rically opposite of the origin which is the
centre of the projection.
Double
stereo
Double Stereographic. Conformal azimuthal
projection onto a plane. The point of projec-
tion is on the surface of the sphere diametri-
cally opposite of the centre of the projection.
