Detailed Description

Provide the main interface to all operations of projecting coordinates from sky to screen. The StelProjector also defines the viewport size and position. All positions in pixels are in real device pixels, which is not the same as device independent pixels. On a mac with retina screen, there are 2 device pixels per pixels. All methods from this class are threadsafe. The usual usage is to create local instances of StelProjectorP using the getProjection() method from StelCore where needed. For performing drawing using a particular projection, refer to the StelPainter class.

◆ checkInViewport() [1/2]

bool StelProjector::checkInViewport ( const Vec3d pos) const

TODO Optimize by storing viewportXywh[1] + viewportXywh[3] and viewportXywh[0] + viewportXywh[2] already computed

◆ checkInViewport() [2/2]

bool StelProjector::checkInViewport ( const Vec3f pos) const

TODO Optimize by storing viewportXywh[1] + viewportXywh[3] and viewportXywh[0] + viewportXywh[2] already computed

◆ forward()

virtual bool StelProjector::forward ( Vec3f v) const
pure virtual

After transformation v[2] will always contain the length of the original v: sqrt(v[0]*v[0]+v[1]*v[1]+v[2]*v[2]) regardless of the projection type. This makes it possible to implement depth buffer testing in a way independent of the projection type. I would like to return the squared length instead of the length because of performance reasons. But then far away objects are not textured any more, perhaps because of a depth buffer overflow although the depth test is disabled?

Implemented in StelProjector2d, StelProjectorMiller, StelProjectorSinusoidal, StelProjectorOrthographic, StelProjectorMercator, StelProjectorCylinder, StelProjectorHammer, StelProjectorFisheye, StelProjectorStereographic, StelProjectorEqualArea, and StelProjectorPerspective.

◆ getViewportConvexPolygon()

SphericalRegionP StelProjector::getViewportConvexPolygon ( float  marginX = 0.,
float  marginY = 0. 
) const
Parameters
marginXan extra margin in pixel which extends the polygon size in the X direction.
marginYan extra margin in pixel which extends the polygon size in the Y direction.
Returns
a SphericalConvexPolygon or the special fullSky region if the viewport cannot be represented by a convex polygon (e.g. if aperture > 180 deg).

◆ intersectViewportDiscontinuity()

bool StelProjector::intersectViewportDiscontinuity ( const Vec3d p1,
const Vec3d p2 
) const

For many projections without discontinuity, this should return always false, but for other like cylindrical projection it will return true if the line cuts the wrap-around line (i.e. at lon=180 if the observer look at lon=0).

◆ intersectViewportDiscontinuityInternal()

const Vec3d p2
