perspective plane, or such a delineation as would result
were the chief points of the object thrown forward upon
the plane, each in the direction of a line drawn through
it from a given point of sight, or central point; as, the
projection of a sphere. The several kinds of projection
differ according to the assumed point of sight and plane
of projection in each.

5. (Geog.) Any method of representing the surface of the
earth upon a plane.
[1913 Webster]
Conical projection, a mode of representing the sphere, the

the center of the sphere.

the spherical surface being projected upon the surface of
a cylinder touching the sphere, the point of sight being
at the center of the sphere.
Globular, Gnomonic, Orthographic, projection,etc. See
under Globular, Gnomonic, etc.
Mercator's projection, a mode of representing the sphere in
which the meridians are drawn parallel to each other, and
the parallels of latitude are straight lines whose
distance from each other increases with their distance
from the equator, so that at all places the degrees of
latitude and longitude have to each other the same ratio
as on the sphere itself.
Oblique projection, a projection made by parallel lines
drawn from every point of a figure and meeting the plane
of projection obliquely.
Polar projection, a projection of the sphere in which the
point of sight is at the center, and the plane of
projection passes through one of the polar circles.
Powder of projection (Alchemy.), a certain powder cast into
a crucible or other vessel containing prepared metal or
other matter which is to be thereby transmuted into gold.
Projection of a point on a plane (Descriptive Geom.), the
foot of a perpendicular to the plane drawn through the

3. The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018) |
projection
In domain theory, a function, f, which is (a)
idempotent, i.e. f(f(x))=f(x) and (b) whose result is no
more defined than its argument. E.g. F(x)=bottom or F(x)=x.
In reduction systems, a function which returns some
component of its argument. E.g. head, tail, \ (x,y) . x.
In a graph reduction system the function can just return a
pointer to part of its argument and does not need to build any
new graph.
