GeocentricCRS (Geotools modules 31-SNAPSHOT API)

All Superinterfaces:

CoordinateReferenceSystem, GeodeticCRS, IdentifiedObject, ReferenceSystem, SingleCRS

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultGeocentricCRS
```
public interface GeocentricCRS
extends GeodeticCRS
```
A 3D coordinate reference system with the origin at the approximate centre of mass of the earth. A geocentric CRS deals with the earth's curvature by taking a 3D spatial view, which obviates the need to model the earth's curvature.

Used with CS type(s)

Cartesian, Spherical
