No. They are clear. If you have something specific to ask, then ask.

How they are clear? You used "a pseudocylindric or lenticular projection" to mean "Strebe-".

The effect is the same regardless of which projection you use from those classes.

Umm. this thread is about recentering infinite projections!

I don't think so. Moving a pole from infinity to border is not the same as moving a pole from border to border.

I’m not sure what you think the essential difference is. How the pole is represented before recentering—whether stretched into a line, placed off at infinity, or given as a point—has no bearing on what happens to it when you recenter. It seems you used the technique in order to show the pole when it otherwise would not be visible. I merely point out that you can use the same technique for other purposes, such as giving a nearly equatorial aspect that preserve Antarctica without interruption.

I commented on a different use for the same technique that you originally posted about. Now you obtusely inform me that a different use is not the same as your use.

If you wish for people to ignore your posts, then I recommend continuing with your patterns of discourse, unchanged.

I'm called Piotr, not "shrug".
