Source sentences:
text: The Lambert conformal conic projection is a map projection in which all meridians are represented by straight lines radiating from a common point outside the mapped area (for example, a point on the polar axis) and the parallels are represented by arcs or circles whose center is this same common point: this projection may have one or two standard parallels that maintain exact scale, while the scale varies along the meridians, and, since the meridians and parallels intersect at right angles, angles between locations on the surface of the earth are correctly shown.
text: In polyconic projections (Figure 9), the parallels are represented by circles whose centers are located on one straight line that represents the central meridian.
text: parallels are represented by circles—for example, the conformal Lagrange projections and the Grinten projection).
