IProjection

Projection. Describes how the real map is projected onto the endless pixel plane. One "world" should be sized 256x256 pixels at the zero zoom level, while the upper left corner of this world has the coordinates (0,0) and the axes coordinates go to the right and down. "Worlds" can be connected along any axis (or both axes at once).
