Before revision: center|400px As an example, one possible secant Mercator projection is defined by The numeric multipliers do not alter the shape of the projection but it does mean that the scale factors are timesed : secant Mercator scale, Thus the scale on the equator is 0.9996, the scale is k = 1 at a latitude given by where so that degrees, k=1.0004 at a latitude given by for which degrees.
