Orthographic globe view with back-side culling: easting latitude · case 01

Eastings do not shrink toward the poles.

Verified by executionVariant 1 · 8 checks per implementationDownload source bundle ↓JSON ↗

ROOT CAUSE

The easting uses the view-centre latitude instead of the point latitude.

VERIFIED REPAIR

At the easting latitude step restore `px = R * math.cos(phi) * math.sin(dl)`, leaving the rest of the model unchanged.

Unsuccessful approach: Dropping the latitude factor altogether is right only on the equator.

Case contract

Input [lon, lat, lon0, lat0] degrees; sphere R = 6371000 viewed from infinity above (lon0, lat0). cos c = sin(p0)sin(p) + cos(p0)cos(p)cos(dl); points with cos c < 0 are on the far side and return None. Otherwise x = R cos(p) sin(dl), y = R (cos(p0) sin(p) - sin(p0) cos(p) cos(dl)), rounded to 2 decimals.

Why this case matters

Globe widgets and inset locator maps draw only the visible hemisphere; wrong culling shows features through the planet.

Verification & scope

Stipulated deterministic toy contract on a bounded input domain; results are rounded as stated and no conformance with any published standard or library is claimed. This reproducer isolates one failure mechanism. Results cover the supplied fixtures. Variants within a family share a test contract and should remain grouped when constructing evaluation splits. Related mechanisms with a shared evaluation_group must also remain together; these controlled models are not independent production incidents.
