public interface CoordinateSystem
- extends IdentifiedObject
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.

CoordinateSystemAxis getAxis(int dimension)
throws IndexOutOfBoundsException
- 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
- if dimension
is out of bounds.
