 		// Most transformations between world and screen space take shortcuts when scaling to simplify the math. This

 		//  velocity (given in pixels). We could normalize the vector first but then we'd need to scale it during

 		//  correcting the scaling. This gives a vector in elevation projection aligned with screen space.
