Orthographic projection.

Introduction

This projection is an Azimuthal projection with a projection point at infinity.

Properties
- Only a hemisphere can be shown. This is due to the geometry of the projection.
- There is no distortion exactly at the projection origin and much distortion near the edge of the hemisphere.
- All meridians and parallels are either ellipses, circles, or straight lines.
- All great circles through the origin of the projection are shown as straight lines.
- The projection is neither conformal nor equal-area.
- The radial scale factor decreases as distance increases from the projection origin.
Example

Sample code
```
 ILcdProjection projection =
     new TLcdOrthographic(20.0, -50.0);
 
```
Implementation aspects

The plotting equations of the orthographic projection are taken from [Snyder1987].

- Constructor Detail
  - TLcdOrthographic
```
public TLcdOrthographic()
```
    Constructs an orthographic projection for a sphere with the origin at point (0.0, 0.0).
  - TLcdOrthographic
```
public TLcdOrthographic(double aLongitude,
                        double aLatitude)
```
    Constructs an orthographic projection for a sphere with the origin at a point (aLatitude, aLongitude). The central meridian is at aLongitude.
    
    Parameters:
    
    aLongitude - longitude of the origin of the projection, in decimal degrees.
    
    aLatitude - latitude of the origin of the projection, in decimal degrees.
  - TLcdOrthographic
```
public TLcdOrthographic(ILcdPoint aOrigin)
```
    Constructs an orthographic projection for a sphere with the origin at an ILcdPoint aOrigin. The central meridian is at aOrigin.getX().
    
    Parameters:
    
    aOrigin - ILcdPoint of the origin of the projection. aOrigin is cloned within the constructor, so no side effects will happen to the projection as a result from changes to aOrigin.
- Method Detail
  - isConsiderHeight
```
public boolean isConsiderHeight()
```
    Returns whether the z-coordinate value will be considered when projecting. The default value is false.
    
    Returns:
    
    whether the z-coordinate value will be considered when projecting.
    
    See Also:
    
    setConsiderHeight(boolean)
  - setConsiderHeight
```
public void setConsiderHeight(boolean aConsiderHeight)
```
    Sets whether the z-coordinate value will be considered when projecting.
    
    Parameters:
    
    aConsiderHeight - the new considerHeight value.
    
    See Also:
    
    isConsiderHeight()
  - calculateCachedValues
```
protected void calculateCachedValues()
```
    Description copied from class: ALcdAzimuthal
    
    Constants based on the point of origin of the projection don't have to be recalculated every time a method is called. They only have to be calculated when the projection properties change. Within the methods the pre-calculated values then can be used in order to gain efficiency.
    
    Overrides:
    
    calculateCachedValues in class ALcdAzimuthal
  - isAllInBounds
```
public boolean isAllInBounds()
```
    Description copied from interface: ILcdProjection
    
    If all geodetic coordinates (l ,j ) are projected (visible) by an ILcdProjection and all (x,y ) coordinates are bounded this is true. All ILcdProjection objects have bounded (x,y ) coordinates because the projection is cut off if necessary.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if all LonLatPoints are within the bounds of the projection, false otherwise.
