/**
 * \class Gyoto::Screen
 * \brief The camera with which the Astrobj is observed
 *
 * In the observer-centric point-of-view, the center of the Metric's
 * coordinate system is positioned relatively to the observing Screen
 * using three Euler angles and the distance (in meters). The three
 * Euler angles are:
 *   - position angle of the line of nodes (North of East);
 *   - inclination (0 = face-on);
 *   - argument of the X axis of the Metric's coordinate system.
 *  We use the z-x-z convention.
 *  See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_angles
 *
 * In addition, the Screen conveys:
 *   - the observing date (in geometrical units, but expect it to
 *     change to seconds in a future version);
 *   - the field-of-view of the image;
 *   - the resolution of the camera: number of pixels on each side
 *     (the camera is square);
 *   - the observing frequency.
 *
 * The scalar FreqObs defines the observing frequency for Scenery
 * quantity Intensity.
 *
 * Likewise, a Gyoto::Spectrometer defines for which frequencies
 * spectra are computed (when the Quantity Spectrum is requested in
 * the Scenery).
 * 
 * For the sake of theoreticians, there is an alternate way of
 * specifying the relative position of the Screen and Metric, by
 * specifying the 4-coordinates of the Screen in the Metric's
 * coordinate system (in that case, eerything is specified in
 * geometrical units).
 *
 * So an XML stanza for a Screen may look like that:
 * \code
 *  <Screen>
 *    <Time>       1000.      </Time>
 *    <FieldOfView>   0.3141592653589793 </FieldOfView>
 *    <Resolution>  128       </Resolution>
 *    <Distance>      1e30    </Distance>
 *    <PALN>          3.14159 </PALN>
 *    <Inclination>   2.0944  </Inclination>
 *    <Argument>     -2.0944  </Argument>
 *    <Spectrometer kind="freqlog" nsamples="10"> 17. 23. </Spectrometer> 
 *    <FreqObs>       1e20    </FreqObs>
 *  </Screen>
 * \endcode
 *
 * or like that:
 *
 * \code
 *  <Screen>
 *    <Position> 1000. 1000. 0.15. 0.</Position>
 *    <FieldOfView>   0.3141592653589793 </FieldOfView>
 *    <Resolution>  128 </Resolution>
 *    <Spectrometer kind="freqlog" nsamples="10"> 17. 23. </Spectrometer> 
 *    <FreqObs>       1e20    </FreqObs>
 *  </Screen>
 * \endcode
 *
 *
 * Units can be specified using the unit attribute in the XML file,
 * for instance:
 * 
 * \code
 *   <Distance unit="kpc"> 8 </Distance>
 * \endcode
 *
 * Possible units are (with [] noting the default):
 *  - distance: [m], geometrical, cm, km, AU, ly, pc, kpc, Mpc;
 *  - PALN, inclination, argument: [rad], deg.
 *  - frequency: [Hz], µm, GeV...
 *
 * When the distance is really large and most of the ray-tracing would
 * happen de facto in flat space, the camera is transported to a
 * location at a reasonable distance from the metric and the images
 * are scaled accordingly. The default value for this distance should
 * be fine, but it can be customized using the "dmax" attribute of the
 * "Distance" element. "dmax" is always expressed in geometrical
 * units:
 *
 * \code
 *    <Distance unit="kpc" dmax="1e7"> 8 </Distance>
 * \endcode
 *
 * Symptoms when dmax is too large include pixelization of the image
 * (neighbouring photons are numerically identical) and other
 * numerical overflows. dmax is too small when it is apparent that
 * changing it yields projection effects. dmax must be large compared
 * to rmax in the Astrobj and ideally, changing it by an order of
 * magnitude should not yield significant changes in the ray-traced
 * image.
