Interface CylindricalCS

All Superinterfaces:

CoordinateSystem, IdentifiedObject

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

A 3-dimensional cylindrical coordinate system. It consists of a PolarCS extended by a straight axis perpendicular to the plane spanned by the polar CS.

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