Interface LinearCS

All Superinterfaces:

@UML(identifier="CS_LinearCS",
     specification=ISO_19111)
public interface LinearCS
extends CoordinateSystem

A 1-dimensional coordinate system that consists of the points that lie on the single axis described. The associated coordinate is the distance – with or without offset – from the origin point, specified through the datum definition, to the point along the axis.

Example: usage of the line feature representing a road to describe points on or along that road.

This type of CS can be used by coordinate reference systems of type EngineeringCRS.
