Specification of the coordinate operation method formula.
A formula may be given textually,
or may be a reference to a publication.
If the operation method is not analytic, then
Formula
actually gives
the procedure rather than an analytic formula.
Formulas are given by OperationMethod.getFormula()
.
Formula
objects are for human reading; the object that actually does the work
of applying the formula or procedure to coordinate values is MathTransform
.
