 * Two distinct positions joined by a geodesic curve. The control points of a {@code Geodesic} shall
 * all lie on the geodesic between its start point and end point. Between these two points, a
 * geodesic curve defined from the {@linkplain org.opengis.referencing.datum.Ellipsoid ellipsoid} or
 * geoid model used by the {@linkplain org.opengis.referencing.crs.CoordinateReferenceSystem
 * coordinate reference system} may be used to interpolate other positions. Any other point in the
 * {@link #getControlPoints controlPoint} array must fall on this geodesic.
