Lambert 1 Para Lambert 1 Parallel. Conformal projection onto a cone,
with its axis coinciding with the z-axis of the ellipsoid.
Lambert 2 Para Lambert 2 Parallel. Conformal projection onto a cone,
with its axis coinciding with the z-axis of the ellipsoid.
The cone is secant to the sphere.
Cassini-Soldn Soldner Cassini. Projection onto a cylinder. It is
neither equal area nor conformal. The scale is true
along the central meridian and along lines perpendic-
ular to central meridian.
Polar Stereo Polar Stereographic. Conformal azimuthal projection
onto a plane. The point of projection is on the
surface of the ellipsoid diametrically opposite of the
origin which is the centre of the projection.
Double Stereo Double Stereographic. Conformal azimuthal projec-
tion onto a plane. The point of projection is on the
surface of the sphere diametrically opposite of the
centre of the projection.
RSO Rectified Skewed Orthomorphic. This is a special type
of Oblique Mercator projection.
