Package org.deegree.crs.projections Description

A map projection create a 2D view of the 3D-Object 'earth', by doing so, some information is inevitably lost.

Because of this and because of the fact, the earth isn't a perfect sphereoid --or even a perfect ellipsoid for that matter--, there is no 'best' projection for the projection of every region on earth. Hence a lot of different mathematical projectional functions have been developed over the years. It is possible to categorise these functions into three groups:

• Cylindric projections
• Conic projections
• Azimuthal projections
