public class IlvAzimuthalEquidistantProjection
extends IlvProjection

This class defines the Azimuthal Equidistant projection. With Azimuthal projections, also called plane projections, the spherical globe is projected onto a plane surface. This type of projection is often used to portray the regions around the Poles. The plane surface is therefore generally placed above the North or the South Pole.

With Azimuthal Equidistant projections, distances from the center are true. These projections are used to show air-route distances, which appear as straight lines when drawn from the projection center.

CADGR files representing polar areas are provided with this projection.

This class applies both to spherical and non-spherical ellipsoids and implements an inverse function.

This projection is neither Conformal nor Equal Area.
