Hi Ethan,
An obvious one perhaps, but one which we may find increasingly useful /
relevant in light of the rise and rise of GoogleEarth-type applications,
is the Orthographic projection. This being the classic 'view from space'
projection.
Same grid mapping parameters as the other azimuthal projections, viz.
grid_mapping_name = "orthographic"
longitude_of_projection_origin
latitude_of_projection_origin
false_easting
false_northing
(though off the top of my head I can't think of a scenario where one
would want to use the last two params).
Regards,
Phil
