********************************************************************************
Orthographic
********************************************************************************

The orthographic projection is a perspective azimuthal projection centered
around a given latitude and longitude.

| **Classification**  | Azimuthal                                              |
+---------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+
| **Available forms** | Forward and inverse, spherical projection              |
+---------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+
| **Defined area**    | Global, although only one hemisphere can be seen at a  |
|                     | time                                                   |
