From aa71df059f2eee4f33f0b137948c1f71d8260b88 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Even Rouault Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2020 18:09:53 +0100 Subject: Doc: use 'ellipsoidal' to refer to the ellipsoidal formulation (to be opposed to the spherical one) Instead of 'elliptical'. Was suggested by @cffk in https://github.com/OSGeo/PROJ/pull/2030#issuecomment-596132341 An elliptical projection is a projection whose global shape fits inside an ellipsoid, like Mollweide. At least according to https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/elliptical%20projection and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mollweide_projection --- docs/source/operations/projections/geos.rst | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'docs/source/operations/projections/geos.rst') diff --git a/docs/source/operations/projections/geos.rst b/docs/source/operations/projections/geos.rst index e825104f..9b8bf21b 100644 --- a/docs/source/operations/projections/geos.rst +++ b/docs/source/operations/projections/geos.rst @@ -10,7 +10,7 @@ scanning angle intervals. +---------------------+----------------------------------------------------------+ | **Classification** | Azimuthal | +---------------------+----------------------------------------------------------+ -| **Available forms** | Forward and inverse, spherical and elliptical projection | +| **Available forms** | Forward and inverse, spherical and ellipsoidal | +---------------------+----------------------------------------------------------+ | **Defined area** | Global | +---------------------+----------------------------------------------------------+ -- cgit v1.2.3
