      • getCoordinateReferenceSystem

        public abstract R getCoordinateReferenceSystem()
        Returns the reference system for this coordinates.
        Specified by:
        getCoordinateReferenceSystem in interface org.opengis.spatialschema.geometry.DirectPosition
        Returns:
        the associated coordinate reference system.

      • getDimension

        public abstract int getDimension()
        OpenGIS® - The length of coordinate sequence (the number of entries). This is determined by the coordinate reference system.
        Specified by:
        getDimension in interface org.opengis.spatialschema.geometry.DirectPosition
        Returns:
        the dimensionality of this position.

      • getOrdinate

        public abstract double getOrdinate​(int dimension)
                            throws java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException
        OpenGIS® - Returns the ordinate at the specified dimension.
        Specified by:
        getOrdinate in interface org.opengis.spatialschema.geometry.DirectPosition
        Parameters:
        dimension - The dimension in the range 0 to dimension-1.
        Returns:
        The coordinate at the specified dimension.
        Throws:
        java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the specified dimension is out of bounds.

      • setOrdinate

        public final void setOrdinate​(int dimension,
