The description on how to project this are unclear and what to do with it once you have it are missing. Too technical for a general audience. Doesn't say why you want it. RJFJR 19:00, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

To date this article has less content than the relevant section of the article on pole figures, I'll try to expand it over the next few days. Also the article should be called the Wulff net, I'll move it later this week, unless anyone can show me that Wolff is the correct spelling. Mikenorton (talk) 11:11, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

I found the original Wulff reference - Wulff, George, Untersuchungen im Gebiete der optischen Eigenschaften isomorpher
Kristalle: Zeits. Krist.,36, l-28 (1902), page move has been requested - Mikenorton (talk) 21:47, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merger opportunity?

Wikipedia currently has articles on Stereographic projection and Wulff net. It does not have anything on equal-area hemispherical projections and Schmidt nets. So I am writing an article at User:Joshuardavis/Hemispherical projection. You'll notice that it also treats equal-angle/Wulff net stuff. I suspect that this Wulff net article should be merged into it, but I can't propose a formal merger because I'm not even sure what the unified article should be called, or whether these topics deserve their own pages. (I don't work professionally with this stuff; I'm just interested.) Any comments? Joshua R. Davis (talk) 23:02, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

The Stereographic projection article has been expanded to handle Wulff nets. I am going to merge this article into that one. For the record, the equal-area hemispherical projection is treated at Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection. Joshua R. Davis (talk) 02:38, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
