Interface ParametricCRS

All Superinterfaces:

CoordinateReferenceSystem, IdentifiedObject, ReferenceSystem, SingleCRS

@UML(identifier="SC_ParametricCRS",
     specification=ISO_19111_2)
public interface ParametricCRS
extends SingleCRS

A 1-dimensional coordinate reference system which uses parameter values or functions. A coordinate reference system shall be of the parametric type if a physical or material property or function is used as the dimension. The values or functions can vary monotonically with height.

Examples: Pressure in meteorological applications, or density (isopycnals) in oceanographic applications.

This type of CRS can be used with coordinate systems of type ParametricCS.
