Module geodesy.geocentric
Geocentric Cartesian coordinate value type.
This module represents finite Earth-centred Cartesian X/Y/Z values without attaching datum, CRS, ellipsoid, or unit metadata. Keeping the coordinate value independent from those identities allows the same strong type to be used by conversion and reference-frame operations while requiring their semantic context to remain explicit.
Units
X, Y, and Z share one caller-selected linear unit. When used with an ellipsoid or transformation parameters, all participating linear values must use compatible units.
Performance
Checked construction and value access require no allocation.
