    public abstract class ConicProjection
    extends Projection
    A projection formed by projecting the sphere onto a cone tangent, or secant, to the sphere along any small circle (usually a mid-latitude parallel). In the normal aspect (which is oblique for conic projections), parallels are projected as concentric arcs of circles, and meridians are projected as straight lines radiating at uniform angular intervals from the apex of the flattened cone.
