Interface GeoOrigin

- All Known Implementing Classes:
GeoOrigin
GeoOrigin is deprecated and discouraged (but nevertheless allowed) in X3D version 3.3. GeoOrigin is restored in X3D version 4.0 for special use on devices with limited floating-point resolution.

GeoOrigin node tooltip: [X3DNode] GeoOrigin specifies local geospatial coordinate system for parent node, enabling increased geographic precision during scene rendering (by mitigating potential floating-point roundoff errors). GeoOrigin can be contained by other Geospatial component nodes, typically via DEF/USE to ensure consistency.
- Hint: only one geospatial coordinate system is allowed per scene, thus DEF-ing and later USE-ing only one GeoOrigin node per scene is recommended.

- Warning: requires X3D profile='Full' or else include <component name='Geospatial' level='1'/>
- Warning: GeoOrigin is deprecated, discouraged and not legal in X3D v3.3. GeoOrigin can be ignored in X3D v3.2 and below.
- Hint: GeoOrigin is likely to be restored in X3D v4.0 for special use on devices with limited floating-point resolution.

- Warning: XML validation requires placement as first child node following contained metadata nodes (if any).
