Conical projection of a hollow cylinder Φ onto a plane perpendicular to the cylinder. The dot-dash lines (―∙―∙―) represent the radiating lines from the apex §. The distance § from the projection plane is arbitrary and is chosen to ensure that the resulting projection graph clearly portrays the relevant information. The image of the hollow cylinder on the projection plane is the ring ψ.
