Mercator Projection

[previous page] [next page] [table of contents][page overview]
The primitive function

ALT=

can be determined via the substitution

ALT=

as follows:
ALT= ALT= ALT=  
  ALT= ALT=  
  ALT= ALT=  

An application thereof is the Mercator-Projection. Here the earth's surface is isogonically projected onto a plane,

ALT=      ALT=

with latitudes being lengthened by ALT=.
