cylindrical projection

It is presented here as a cylindrical projection.

Such a cylindrical projection (for example) is one which:

Like any cylindrical projection, it stretches parallels increasingly away from the equator.

Cylindrical projections "put the sphere into a cylinder, and then unroll its surface".

By the geometry of their construction, cylindrical projections stretch distances east-west.

Normal cylindrical projections of the sphere have and a function of latitude only.

It is saucer-shaped, but there're two cylindrical projections on top and one below."

As in all cylindrical projections, parallels and meridians are straight and perpendicular to each other.

Where the light source emanates along the line described in this last constraint is what yields the differences between the various "natural" cylindrical projections.

He developed the Miller cylindrical projection in 1942, and completed many other aerial photography and surveying projects.

The Central cylindrical projection is a cylindrical map projection.

He peered out the viewport, saw from the nested cylindrical projections that he was on a space station.

To help make his fortune he had arranged for a map of the Earth in cylindrical projection to be painstakingly tattooed on his torso.

Cylindrical projection, where the stitched image shows a 360 horizontal field of view and a limited vertical field of view.

The various cylindrical projections specify how the geographic detail is transferred from the globe to a cylinder tangential to it at the equator.

This later (1867) cylindrical projection by Carl Braun is similar, differing only in the asymmetric scaling horizontally and vertically.

The cylindrical projections are constructed so that all points on a meridian are projected to points with and a prescribed function of .

When viewed on a 2D plane, horizontal lines appear curved as in a cylindrical projection, while vertical lines remain vertical.

The Gall stereographic projection, presented by James Gall in 1855, is cylindrical projection.

The normal cylindrical projections are described in relation to a cylinder tangential at the equator with axis along the polar axis of the sphere.

The various cylindrical projections are distinguished from each other solely by their north-south stretching (where latitude is given by φ):

Peters's chosen projection suffers extreme distortion in the polar regions, as any cylindrical projection must, and its distortion along the equator is considerable.

Normal cylindrical projections map the whole Earth as a finite rectangle, except in the first two cases, where the rectangle stretches infinitely tall while retaining constant width.

The lines of unit scale at latitude (north and south), where the cylindrical projection surface intersects the sphere, are the standard parallels of the secant projection.

The computer displayed in his mind a topographical map of the planet in cylindrical projection, with glowing red indicating areas of gravitational disturbance-concentrations of magic, presumably.
