Implementation of (a part of) map projections defined in the FITS World Coordinate System (WCS).
Mainly to add projections and to support the display of FITS images in Aladin Lite V3.
This library: * does not support FITS reading/parsing and keywords analysis; * is still in an early stage (see To Do List) and will evolve when included in Aladin Lite V3.
Contrary to the WCS paper,
and following a previous work by F. Ochsenbein, we use the vernal point
(1, 0, 0)
as default projection center/origin.
For zeithal projections, we thus project on the yz-plane
using the euclidean coordinates instead of the equatorial coordinates.
Changing the projection center correspond to a simple 3x3 matrix multiplication
of the euclidean coordinates.
This work has been first done internally in 2017 (still by F.-X. Pineau), in Java, to support more projections in Aladin (not released yet, not public yet). F. Ochsenbein previously implemented TAN, STG, SIN, ZEA, ARC, AIT, SFL, MER and CEA (for lambda=1, i.e. Lambert's projection) in its AstroCoo library.
