Gloobuse projitseerimisel saame selle tasapinnalise laotuse, kus peamõõtkava kehtib projektsioonist sõltuvalt vaid valitud joontel või punktides – kokkupuutepindadel siirdepinnaga.
The projection surfaces may also cut the earth surface; such secant projections will have two principal axes, as shown for the conic projection, thereby reducing average distortions compared to the tangential form.
Developable surface [is] a surface that can be flattened on a plane without geometric distortion; in the case of map projections, the flat surface on which the earth's features are projected.
