Interface ParametricCS

All Superinterfaces:

CoordinateSystem, IdentifiedObject

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

A 1-dimensional coordinate system in which a physical property or function is used as the dimension. This coordinate system uses parameter values or functions to describe the position of a point. That parameter is not inherently spatial. It may be for example the atmospheric pressure.

This type of CS can be used by coordinate reference systems of type ParametricCRS, potentially in combination with DerivedCRS.
