Tissot's indicatrix  

Définition

  • Tissot's indicatrix is a graphical means for the depiction of the amount and direction of distortion inherent in a map projection transformation. Invented by French mathematician Nicolas August Tissot, the elliptical figure is the result of a theoretical pointsized circle of unit radius on the globe or spheroid having gone through the map projection, and so having been distorted in size and shape.
