- parabolic chart
- hyperbolic chart
- prolate spheroidal chart (rational and trigonometric forms)
- oblate spheroidal chart (rational and trigonometric forms)
- toroidal chart

Famous quotes containing the word favorite:
“I anticipate with pleasing expectations that retreat in which I promise myself to realize, without alloy, the sweet enjoyment of partaking, in the midst of my fellow citizens, the benign influence of good laws under a free government, the ever favorite object of my heart, and the happy reward, as I trust, of our mutual cares, labors, and dangers.”
—George Washington (1732–1799)
