GeodeticEllipsoidProps Interface

This interface defines the mathematical model of the Earth shape in the form of an ellipsoid. There are various ways to define an ellipsoid but we have retained the definition based on the polar and equatorial radiuses. The other ellipsoid properties, such as flattening and inverse flattening, can be obtained using the simple equations that are defined at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flattening and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_ellipsoid.
