public class DefaultCoordinateSystemAxis
extends AbstractIdentifiedObject
implements CoordinateSystemAxis
```
Definition of a coordinate system axis. This is used to label axes, and indicate the orientation. See axis name constraints.
In some case, the axis name is constrained by ISO 19111 depending on the coordinate reference system type. These constraints are identified in the javadoc by "ISO 19111 name is..." sentences. This constraint works in two directions; for example the names "geodetic latitude" and "geodetic longitude" shall be used to designate the coordinate axis names associated with a geographic coordinate reference system. Conversely, these names shall not be used in any other context.

public DefaultCoordinateSystemAxis(CoordinateSystemAxis axis)
```
    Constructs a new coordinate system axis with the same values than the specified one. This copy constructor provides a way to wrap an arbitrary implementation into a Geotools one or a user-defined one (as a subclass), usually in order to leverage some implementation-specific API. This constructor performs a shallow copy, i.e. the properties are not cloned.
    
    Parameters:
    axis - The coordinate system axis to copy.

- Method Detail
  - getPredefined
```
public static DefaultCoordinateSystemAxis getPredefined(String name,
                                        AxisDirection direction)
```
    Returns one of the predefined axis for the given name and direction, or null if none. This method searchs only in predefined constants like GEODETIC_LATITUDE, not in any custom axis instantiated by a public constructor. The name of those constants match ISO 19111 names or some names commonly found in Well Known Text (WKT) formats.
    This method first checks if the specified name matches the abbreviation of a predefined axis. The comparaison is case-sensitive (for example the GEOCENTRIC_X abbreviation is uppercase "X", while the abbreviation for the generic X axis is lowercase "x").
    If the specified name doesn't match any abbreviation, then this method compares the name against predefined axis name in a case-insensitive manner. Examples of valid names are "Geodetic latitude" and "Northing".
    The direction argument is optional and can be used in order to resolve ambiguity like X and DISPLAY_X axis. If this argument is null, then the first axis with a matching name or abbreviation will be returned.
    
    Parameters:
    name - The axis name or abbreviation.
    direction - An optional direction, or null.
    
    Returns:
    One of the constants declared in this class, or null.

  - getDirection
```
public static AxisDirection getDirection(String direction)
                                  throws NoSuchElementException
```
    Returns an axis direction constants from its name.
    
    Parameters:
    direction - The direction name (e.g. "north", "east", etc.).
    
    Returns:
    The axis direction for the given name.
    
    Throws:
    
    NoSuchElementException - if the given name is not a know axis direction.
  - getDirection
```
public AxisDirection getDirection()
```
    Direction of this coordinate system axis. In the case of Cartesian projected coordinates, this is the direction of this coordinate system axis locally. Examples: north or south, east or west, up or down.
    Within any set of coordinate system axes, only one of each pair of terms can be used. For earth-fixed coordinate reference systems, this direction is often approximate and intended to provide a human interpretable meaning to the axis. When a geodetic datum is used, the precise directions of the axes may therefore vary slightly from this approximate direction.
    
    Note that an DefaultEngineeringCRS often requires specific descriptions of the directions of its coordinate system axes.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getDirection in interface CoordinateSystemAxis
    
    Returns:
    The coordinate system axis direction.

    Specified by:
    
    getAbbreviation in interface CoordinateSystemAxis
    
    Returns:
    The coordinate system axis abbreviation.
  - getUnit
```
public Unit<?> getUnit()
```

    Returns:
    The coordinate system axis unit.
  - getMinimumValue
```
public double getMinimumValue()
```
    Returns the minimum value normally allowed for this axis, in the unit of measure for the axis. If there is no minimum value, then this method returns negative infinity.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getMinimumValue in interface CoordinateSystemAxis
    
    Returns:
    The minimum value, or Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY if none.

  - getMaximumValue
```
public double getMaximumValue()
```
    Returns the maximum value normally allowed for this axis, in the unit of measure for the axis. If there is no maximum value, then this method returns negative infinity.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getMaximumValue in interface CoordinateSystemAxis
    
    Returns:
    The maximum value, or Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY if none.

    - "Lat", "Latitude" and "Geodetic latitude" are considered equivalent.
    - "Lon", "Longitude" and "Geodetic longitude" are considered equivalent.
    The above special cases are needed in order to workaround a conflict in specifications: ISO 19111 explicitly state that the latitude and longitude axis names shall be "Geodetic latitude" and "Geodetic longitude", will legacy OGC 01-009 (where WKT is defined) said that the default values shall be "Lat" and "Lon".
    Overrides:
    
    nameMatches in class AbstractIdentifiedObject
    
    Parameters:
    name - The name to compare.
    
    Returns:
    true if the primary name of at least one alias matches the specified name.
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(AbstractIdentifiedObject object,
             boolean compareMetadata)
```
    Compares the specified object with this axis for equality.
    
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class AbstractIdentifiedObject
    
    Parameters:
    object - The object to compare to this.
    compareMetadata - true for performing a strict comparaison, or false for comparing only properties relevant to transformations.
    
    Returns:
    true if both objects are equal.
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Returns a hash value for this axis. This value doesn't need to be the same in past or future versions of this class.
    
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class AbstractIdentifiedObject
    
    Returns:
    The hash code value. This value doesn't need to be the same in past or future versions of this class.
  - formatWKT
```
protected String formatWKT(Formatter formatter)
```
    Format the inner part of a Well Known Text (WKT) element. WKT is returned by the toString method and looks like AXIS["name",NORTH].
    
    Overrides:
    
    formatWKT in class Formattable
    
    Parameters:
    formatter - The formatter to use.
    
    Returns:
    The WKT element name, which is "AXIS".
