Topocentric Residual Presenter
The Topocentric Residual Presenter calculates and displays residuals in a topocentric (local) coordinate system, providing East (E), North (N), and Up (U) components relative to each station.

Coordinate Types
Three coordinate types are supported:
cartesian
Geocentric Cartesian coordinates (ECEF). Coordinates are converted to topocentric space using PROJ's topocentric projection centered on each station.
degrees
Latitude, longitude, height above ellipsoid. Coordinates are first converted to Cartesian, then to topocentric space.
projected
Coordinates in a projected CRS. These are assumed to already be in a local coordinate system and are used directly.
