Projection Aspect

Until now, the discussion of map displays has focused on the normal aspect, by far the most commonly used. This section discusses the use of transverse, oblique and, skew-oblique aspects.

Projection aspect is primarily of interest in the display of maps. However, this section will also discuss how the idea of projection aspect as a coordinate system transformation can be applied to map variables for analytical purposes.
