The set of coordinate system axes that spans a given coordinate space. A coordinate system (CS) is derived from a set
of (mathematical) rules for specifying how coordinates in a given space are to be assigned to points. The coordinate
values in a coordinate tuple shall be recorded in the order in which the coordinate system axes associations are
recorded, whenever those coordinates use a coordinate reference system that uses this coordinate system.

Method Details
-
getDimension
int getDimension()Returns the dimension of the coordinate system.- Returns:
- The dimension of the coordinate system.
-
getAxis
Returns the axis for this coordinate system at the specified dimension. Each coordinate system must have at least one axis.- Parameters:
dimension
- The zero based index of axis.- Returns:
- The axis at the specified dimension.
- Throws:
IndexOutOfBoundsException
- ifdimension
is out of bounds.
