The World Is Not Flat
Rendering shapes defined by latitude and longitude with WebGL2.
Only tested on Chrome so far.
Build
npm run test
Demo
Use arrow keys to pan and +/- to zoom in/out
Concepts
TWINF allows to draw shapes defined by latitude and longitude on a canvas using the WebGL2 context.
The following transformations are applied to shapes:
- In the CPU: conversion from latitude/longitude coordinate system to geocentric coordinate system assuming a spherical earth model
- In the CPU: triangulation of spherical and planar polygons
- In the GPU: conversion from geocentric coordinate system to stereographic coordinate system
- In the GPU: conversion from stereographic coordinate system to canvas coordinate system
- In the GPU: conversion from canvas to WebGL clipspace
