General conical surface

ID: general-conical-surface

A general conical surface is swept out by straight generators through one apex . An invertible affine map sends it to another such surface, since it sends each generator to a line through the transformed apex. A projective transformation preserves the projective concurrence of generators, but can send the apex to infinity, producing parallel generators in the affine chart. Therefore finite-apex cones and cylinders are not separately projectively invariant Euclidean classes.
