Modify planet objects to be biaxial ellipsoids #3

Open chrisarridge opened 10 months ago

chrisarridge commented 10 months ago

Planets can be represented by biaxial ellipsoids to account for polar flattening. Planet objects should be modified when the planet name changes in the GUI and this is done in the onChangePlanet method in the Ikuchi class. The object oPlanetObject in the Ikuchi class can just have it's transformation adjusted so that there is a scaling in the z direction.
