Add planetary projections
In Planetary Sciences, the data are usually represented with 8 types of projections.
Name | Image | Global view | Type | Property |
---|---|---|---|---|
Equirectangular | ![]() |
yes | Cylindrical | Equidistant |
Mollweide | ![]() |
yes | Pseudo-cylindrical | Equal-area |
Sinusoidal | ![]() |
yes | Pseudo-cylindrical | Equal-area / Equidistant |
Stereographic | yes / no | Azimuthal | Conformal | |
Lambert azimuthal | ![]() |
yes / no | Azimuthal | Equi-area |
Azimuthal equidistant | ![]() |
yes / no | Azimuthal | Equidistant |
Orthographic | ![]() |
no | Azimuthal | Perspective |
Vertical perspective | ![]() |
no | Azimuthal | Perspective |
Currently only the equirectangular centered at 180掳 is supported.
Implementation for the other projection can be achieved by extending the GroundProjection
object.
