The world map also indicates the network of lines, which represent meridians and parallels, the geographic coordinate system.The World's largest countries by area includes the Russian Federation, Canada, the Un
but you can alter this by using thePlabelLocationandMlabelLocationproperties. These grid lines are labeled across the north edge of the map for meridians and along the west edge of the map for parallels. However, the propertyMlabelParallelallows you to specify'north','south','equator', or a...
The projection maps meridians to vertical straight lines of constant spacing for meridional intervals of constant spacing, and circles of latitude to horizontal straight lines of constant spacing for constant intervals of parallels.

I don’t quite remember how or where, but I found out that the Mercator projection was equivalent to a Lambert Conformal Conic with the standard parallels set opposite each other across the Equator. And that if you moved both those parallels up to a pole, you got a Stereographic. My mind...
Graticules represent meridians or parallels (or lines in other projections). They are lines on your map running north-south and east-west. Measured grids are for projected coordinates. Although graticules are not always necessary in a map, they can be handy guides for horizontal and vertical meas...

For these azimuthal projections (those with a common centre), parallels may be spaced according to different conditions. (Meridians are always radiating straight lines.) If the linear scale is uniform the projection is equidistant; if equal area is preserved then the spacing between successive parall...
Map - Map projections: A great variety of map projections has been devised to provide for the various properties that may be desired in maps. In effect, a projection is a systematic method of drawing the Earth’s meridians and parallels on a flat surface
All meridians and parallels are straight, equally spaced, and meet at right angles. This means that each degree of latitude and longitude is of the same size over the entire world map. Facts Administrative classification administrative region (level 1) Subregions 8 South 41° 36' 51" S North...
