Description
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 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 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.
Rectified Skewed Orthomorphic. This is a
special type of Oblique Mercator projection.
Description
A unique name for the new projection. A
name is mandatory, can be up to 16 charac-
ters long and include spaces.
The projection type. The setting determines
the availability of the subsequent fields for
the parameters of the projection. Refer to
"9.6.1 Accessing Projection Management" for
a description of the projection types.
