When resetting the projection: why are some projection names followed by “(approximated)”?

When resetting the projection to a preexisting one, some of the available projections are followed by “(approximated)”. This indicates that the preexisting projection cannot be exactly simulated by Flex Projector. Flex Projector will do its best to get as close as possible, but an exact match will not be possible. To visualize the difference between the approximated and the preexisting projection, first reset the projection and then select the preexisting projection as the second projection for display in the background as the second projection. Note that the approximation can often be improved at poles when manually adjusting the direction of meridians at poles.
