Uses of VerticalDatumType in org.opengis.referencing.datum

Fields in org.opengis.referencing.datum declared as VerticalDatumType
`static VerticalDatumType` `VerticalDatumType.BAROMETRIC` Atmospheric pressure is the basis for the definition of the origin of the associated vertical coordinate system axis.
`static VerticalDatumType` `VerticalDatumType.DEPTH` The zero point of the vertical axis is defined by a surface that has meaning for the purpose which the associated vertical measurements are used for.
`static VerticalDatumType` `VerticalDatumType.ELLIPSOIDAL` A vertical datum for ellipsoidal heights that are measured along the normal to the ellipsoid used in the definition of horizontal datum.
`static VerticalDatumType` `VerticalDatumType.GEOIDAL` The zero value of the associated vertical coordinate system axis is defined to approximate a constant potential surface, usually the geoid.
`static VerticalDatumType` `VerticalDatumType.ORTHOMETRIC` A vertical datum for orthometric heights that are measured along the plumb line.
`static VerticalDatumType` `VerticalDatumType.OTHER_SURFACE` In some cases, e.g. oil exploration and production, a geological feature, such as the top or bottom of a geologically identifiable and meaningful subsurface layer, is used as a vertical datum.

Methods in org.opengis.referencing.datum that return VerticalDatumType
`VerticalDatumType` `VerticalDatum.getVerticalDatumType()` The type of this vertical datum.
`static VerticalDatumType` `VerticalDatumType.valueOf(String code)` Returns the VerticalDatumType that matches the given string, or returns a new one if none match it.
`static VerticalDatumType[]` `VerticalDatumType.values()` Returns the list of `VerticalDatumType`s.

Methods in org.opengis.referencing.datum with parameters of type VerticalDatumType
`VerticalDatum` `DatumFactory.createVerticalDatum(Map<String,?> properties, VerticalDatumType type)` Creates a vertical datum from an enumerated type value.
