英语词汇“map projection”的英英意思、用法、释义、翻译、读音、例句、短语、词组-英语词典

a. The drawing, esp. on mathematical principles, of a map or plan of a surface, or of a two-dimensional diagram of a three-dimensional object; esp. (more fully map projection) the representation on a plane surface of (part of) a spherical surface, esp. that of the earth or the celestial sphere; any of the geometrical or cartographic methods by which this may be done. Also: a drawing, plan, or map so made.Such representations were originally made geometrically, the sense being thus identical with sense 2b (but with a physical representation denoted or implied, of a physical rather than a geometrical object). In later use the name has been extended to representations made by computers using complex geometrical or topological algorithms.conical, cylindrical, gnomonic, Mercator's, Mollweide, orthogonal, perspective projection, etc.: see the first element.

释义	> as lemmas map projection map projection n. a geometrical or cartographic method of representing on a flat surface all or part of the earth's surface. ΚΠ 1890 Cent. Dict. at Projection A map-projection in which the space between two meridians and two parallels is represented by a trapezoid. 1905 C. F. Close Text Bk. Topogr. & Geogr. Surv. xi. 92 The term projection, though sanctioned by long usage, is an unfortunate one. The great majority of useful map projections are not obtained in any geometrical way. A map projection is to be treated as the representation on a plane, by any law, of the terrestrial meridians and parallels. 1995 Wired Jan. 40/2 For this atlas, Feigenbaum created a new map projection. extracted from mapn.¹ map projection a.
