* Unit tests for map projection arithmetic - Unit tests for Globe's ellipsoidal properties and methods against official WGS84 reference values - In-progress unit tests for ProjectionWGS84's geographic-to-cartesian arithmetic * Unit tests for map projection arithmetic - Unit tests for Globe's ellipsoidal properties and methods - Unit tests for ProjectionWGS84's geographic-to-Cartesian transformations - Employed official WGS84 reference values for all unit tests * Unit tests for map projection arithmetic - Unit tests for Globe's ellipsoidal properties and methods - Unit tests for ProjectionWGS84's geographic-to-Cartesian transformations - Employed official WGS84 reference values for all unit tests * Enhanced geographic to Cartesian arithmetic precision * Disabled unit tests validating incorrect results - Several unit tests validated functions based on earlier output from the function itself. - These functions computed incorrect results, and once repaired the erroneous unit tests failed. - I've opted to disable these unit tests until an independent validation method can be established. - In the meantime, I have added unit tests for the problematic low-level functions that are validated against independent results. * Simplified WorldWind module import for new unit tests * Clarified property docs for Globe.polarRadius and eccentricitySquared

Web WorldWind
3D virtual globe API for JavaScript, developed by NASA in partnership with ESA. Provides a geographic context, complete with terrain, for visualizing geographic or geo-located information in 3D and 2D. Web WorldWind provides high-resolution terrain and imagery, retrieved from remote servers automatically as needed. Developers can provide custom terrain and imagery. Provides a collection of shapes for displaying and interacting with geographic data and representing a range of geometric objects.
- worldwind.arc.nasa.gov has setup instructions, developers guides, API documentation and more
- Forum provides help from the WorldWind community
- WebStorm is used by the NASA WorldWind development team
Get Started
The Web WorldWind Developer's Guide has a complete description of Web WorldWind's functionality. You'll also find there links to many Web WorldWind resources, including a user guide. The latest Web WorldWind release provides many simple examples showing how to use all of Web WorldWind's functionality.
