Approximate Ortho View #289

Open gpaar opened 1 year ago

gpaar commented 1 year ago

Add an Ortho view as optional projection, in geographic coordinate system. This shall allow a map view, to avoid distortions and remain equivalent to 2D GIS approaches.
Allow to specify a diameter. Always northed view or x/y in case of xyz coordinate system Allow to change linearly between orthographic and pinhole view.

For a future version, also allow other projections e.g. coming from the spherical GPC structure used by JR

Ortho features already working in dibit viewer (picking, LODs, ...)

First step: Approximate with perspective view towards currently selected exploration center with distance and focal length.
