(This is kind of the same point as #14, but that issue requests a change to the definition - I'm simply noting that the diagram doesn't match the written definition)
view:azimuth is defined as:
Viewing azimuth angle. The angle measured from the sub-satellite point (point on the ground below the platform) between the scene center and true north. Measured clockwise from north in degrees (0-360).
which I interpret as "Azimuth is the angle between the lines S-North and S-P", where S = Sub Satellite Point and P = Target (or Scene Centre) Point.
However, the diagram in the readme indicates a different definition such that "Azimuth is the angle between the lines P-North and P-S":
In short, if a satellite is due south of the target and we ignore spherical geometry awkwardness, which of these values is view:azimuth meant to be?
- 0 degrees, the satellite is looking north (text description)
- 180 degrees, the satellite is located south of the target (diagram)
