```
public class Position2D
extends Point2D.Double
implements Position, Serializable, Cloneable
```
Holds the coordinates for a two-dimensional position within some coordinate reference system.
Note 1:
This class inherits x and y fields. But despite their names, they don't need to be oriented toward East and North. The (x,y) axis can have any orientation and should be understood as "ordinate 0" and "ordinate 1" values instead. This is not specific to this implementation; in Java2D too, the visual axis orientation depend on the affine transform in the graphics context.
The rational for avoiding axis orientation restriction is that other Position implementation do not have such restriction, and it would be hard to generalize (what to do with North-East direction?).

Note 2:
Do not mix instances of this class with ordinary Point2D instances in a HashSet or as HashMap keys. It is not possible to meet both Point2D.hashCode() and Position.hashCode() contract, and this class choose to implements the later. Concequently, hashCode() is inconsistent with Point2D.equals(java.lang.Object) (but is consistent with Position.equals(java.lang.Object)).
In other words, it is safe to add instances of DirectPosition2D in a HashSet<DirectPosition>, but it is unsafe to add them in a HashSet<Point2D>. Collections that do not rely on Object.hashCode(), like ArrayList, are safe in all cases.

```
    Constructs a 2D position from the specified ordinates. Despite their name, the (x,y) coordinates don't need to be oriented toward (East, North). Those parameter names simply match the x and y fields. See the class javadoc for details.

```
    Constructs a 2D position from the specified ordinates in the specified CRS. Despite their name, the (x,y) coordinates don't need to be oriented toward (East, North). Those parameter names simply match the x and y fields. The actual axis orientations are determined by the specified CRS. See the class javadoc for details.
    
    Parameters:
    
    crs - The coordinate reference system, or null.
    
    x - The x value.

    Returns a string representation of this coordinate. The default implementation formats this coordinate using a shared instance of CoordinateFormat. This is okay for occasional formatting (for example for debugging purpose). But if there is a lot of positions to format, users will get better performance and more control by using their own instance of CoordinateFormat.

    toString in class Point2D.Double

```
public int hashCode()
```

    A hash code value for this position.
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(Object object)
```
    Compares this point with the specified object for equality. If the given object implements the Position interface, then the comparaison is performed as specified in its Position.equals(java.lang.Object) contract. Otherwise the comparaison is performed as specified in Point2D.equals(java.lang.Object).
    
    Specified by:
    
    equals in interface Position
    
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class Point2D
    
    Parameters:
