  Homography \Ho*mog"ra*phy\, n.
     1. That method of spelling in which every sound is
        represented by a single character, which indicates that
        sound and no other.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     2. (Geom.) A relation between two figures, such that to any
        point of the one corresponds one and but one point in the
        other, and vise versa. Thus, a tangent line rolling on a
        circle cuts two fixed tangents of the circle in two sets
        of points that are homographic.
        [1913 Webster]
