A location identified by a cylinder oriented vertically and centered on a point described with WGS84 coordinates. If it is appropriate for the radius and half-height properties to represent an error value (for example, because the event is a laser-designated target), then the true event location follows a normal distribution such that the cylinder defines the one-sigma (p≈0.67)(almost equal to) deviation. (A cylinder with twice the volume would be the two-sigma (p≈0.95)(almost equal to) deviation, etc.) Otherwise the cylinder encloses the full physical extent of the event.
mo:WGS84LocationCylinder holds other objects.
mo:WGS84LocationCylinder can hold any of these following objects, starting with the most specific and becoming more generic as you move down the list:
A data type for a 3D geometric point, defined by a single coordinate tuple with values from the WGS84 coordinate reference system.
Holds other objects.
A radius of a cylinder, measured in meters.
Holds numbers.
A value one-half of the height of a cylinder, measured in meters.
Holds numbers.
A code indicating the method used to generate a location.
Holds code table entries.
