This would be similar to FlatProjection and MercatorProjection inheriting from CylindricalProjection ...</p></pre>

It seems to be that it could be done, so I'm working on it. I'm currently have a bad internet connection and for the and of the week, so I will submit my work at Monday.</p></pre>

<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthographic_projection_in_cartography</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">In fact I think that at this point we should rename the "Spherical" classes involved accordingly while it might still be helpful to call it "Globe" in the UI for end users (because this naming might be more intuitive for them).</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">Orthographic and Gnomonic Projection (as well as the Stereographic Projection which I had requests for as well) are perspective (or azimutal) projections where a sphere is projected onto a tangent or secant plane (in opposite to e.g. cylindrical projections which project onto a cylinder).<br style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: normal;" />
They all create a "globe" with a circular map shape. So they all have a "horizon". And they all have elements that disappear "behind" the horizon. They all are painted non-repetitive (only once) and they all would use the same kind of algorithm for tesselation. Without looking deeply into the code I can see lots of methods that can be shared without or with little modification by the orthographic, gnomonic and stereographic projection. So my thought would be to have all three projections (Orthographic Projection [aka "Globe", aka "Spherical Projection"], Gnomonic Projection and the Stereographic Projection that would be created in the future) inherit from a common base class, called "Azimuthal Projection" (or "Perspective Projection"). <br style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: normal;" />
Gabor: Do you have any more or other suggestions/thoughts?</p></pre>
