  • First Online:
Choosing a Map Projection

Abstract

Development of a number of spatial sciences presupposes not only an improvement of methods of representation of spatially-coordinated phenomena, but also demonstration of their relations and connections with other phenomena in space and time, especially in cases when we are analyzing them as systems. In these chapter showed methods and examples of linear, areal and volumetric anamorphoses an its animation. Thus compilation of anamorphated images in a number of cases is reasonable for modeling the structure, interconnections and dynamics of geographical phenomena.
