Cesium library support drag and drop displaying for GeoJSON files: in order to display planetary GeoJSON they must contain coordinate reference system information following the planetary standard described here.

The coordinate tool allows to display longitude and latitude coordinates when mouse is over the planet: one-left-click on it will open the display, one-left-click again will close it.

The grid tool

The grid tool is the standard Cesium [ShowGrid](https://github.com/epn-vespa/cesium/tree/planetary/Source/Widgets/ShowGrid) widget. It allows to display a dynamical pixel grid on the planet. One-left-click on it will display the grid, one-left-click again will remove it.
