Interface Geodesic

All Superinterfaces:

CurveSegment, GenericCurve, GeodesicString

@UML(identifier="GM_Geodesic",
     specification=ISO_19107)
public interface Geodesic
extends GeodesicString

Two distinct positions joined by a geodesic curve. The control points of a Geodesic shall all lie on the geodesic between its start point and end point. Between these two points, a geodesic curve defined from the ellipsoid or geoid model used by the coordinate reference system may be used to interpolate other positions. Any other point in the controlPoint array must fall on this geodesic.
