geotiff-geokeys-to-proj4 / CoordinateUnits

Type Alias: CoordinateUnits ​

ts
type CoordinateUnits = 
  | "metre"
  | "metre per second"
  | "second"
  | "radian"
  | "radian per second"
  | "scale"
  | "scale per second"
  | "degree";

Base units types.

EPSG defines speed, angular speed and scale as linear units, and GeoTIFF relies on EPSG.

There's a chance that coordinates will represent something's different from distance (in case of PCS).

Notes:

  1. GCS will always use degrees.
  2. If PCS uses angles then radians will be used.
