Coordinates - longitude/latitude VS x/y/z

[clemencestr]

Hi !

In the constructor of src/Core/Geographic/Coordinates.js, we have:

• x = longitude
• y = latitude
• z = altitude

In the constructor of Coordinates, the documentation states that we can input x or longitude value for the same parameter. It is the same for y and z (latitude and altitude). However, there are not supposed to have the same value, one is in meter the other in degree. There should be a conversion but I have not seen any. Is that normal ?

Thanks for your advises,

Clemence

Hello Clemence

The EPSG indicates unit value (meter or degree) for v0 and v1.
For v3 is always in meter for altitude.
