Stereographic

external fun Stereographic(position: Cartesian2? = definedExternally, tangentPlane: EllipseGeometry? = definedExternally)(source)

Represents a point in stereographic coordinates, which can be obtained by projecting a cartesian coordinate from one pole onto a tangent plane at the other pole. The stereographic projection faithfully represents the relative directions of all great circles passing through its center point. To faithfully represents angles everywhere, this is a conformal projection, which means points are projected onto an arbrary sphere.

Parameters

position

The steroegraphic coordinates.

tangentPlane

The tangent plane onto which the point was projected.
