Replying to [comment:18 jonblower]:
Hi Jon,
excellent point! I finally took the pain to understand what they mean with
"affine transformation", and I see now that this is actually quite
different from what I had intended "rectified" to mean (partly, because it
indeed requires equi-distant points, and partly, because it allows
rotation and skewing, which changes the representation of coordinates - at
least if these are restricted to lon/lat).
Yes, I have heard your term "rectilinear" before. Not sure, I am 100%
pleased with that term, though, because it contains "linear", which to
some means the same as "affine" and/or may also suggest that points are
equally spaced. "Aligned" may be a better word? I'd be happy to learn more
about this. And if eventually an Englishman, an American, and an
Australian (plus a Scot?) can agree on one term, I'd be very happy to
accept this ;-)
Cheers,
Martin
