Tissot's Indicatrices

E-mail Print PDF

Two of the latest blog entries on Esri's Mapping Center site talk about the usefulness of Tissot's Indicatrices in understanding projection distortion (Tissot's indicatrix helps illustrate map projection distortion) and how to create them (Making of Tissot's Indicatrices). For anyone using GIS who struggles either understanding or teaching projections, I highly recommend reading these two.
