Not exactly sure if this is what you are talking about, but if you plot a circle on a spherical object (like a golf ball) it will come out circular, whereas if you plot the exact same shape on an egg, it will come out stretched, because of, well, geometry. Usually, you correct for this by stretching the initial figure by about 150% horizontally.
