The Lee conformal world in a tetrahedron is a polyhedral, conformal map projection that projects the globe onto a tetrahedron using Dixon elliptic functions. It is conformal everywhere except for the four singularities at the vertices of the polyhedron. Because of the nature of polyhedra, this map projection can be tessellated infinitely in the plane. It was developed by L. P. Lee in 1965. Coordinates from a spherical datum can be transformed into Lee conformal projection coordinates with the following formulas, where λ is the longitude and ϕ the latitude: where

Coordinates from a spherical datum can be transformed into Lee conformal projection coordinates with the following formulas, where λ is the longitude and ϕ the latitude: where and sm and cm are Dixon elliptic functions. Since there is no elementary expression for these functions, Lee suggests using the 28th degree MacLaurin series. (en)
