Method Detail

getWestBoundLongitude

double getWestBoundLongitude()

Returns the western-most coordinate of the limit of the dataset extent. The value is expressed in longitude in decimal degrees (positive east).

Returns:

The western-most longitude between -180 and +180°.

UML identifier (mandatory attribute): westBoundLongitude

getEastBoundLongitude

double getEastBoundLongitude()

Returns the eastern-most coordinate of the limit of the dataset extent. The value is expressed in longitude in decimal degrees (positive east).

Returns:

The eastern-most longitude between -180 and +180°.

UML identifier (mandatory attribute): eastBoundLongitude

getSouthBoundLatitude

double getSouthBoundLatitude()

Returns the southern-most coordinate of the limit of the dataset extent. The value is expressed in latitude in decimal degrees (positive north).

Returns:

The southern-most latitude between -90 and +90°.

UML identifier (mandatory attribute): southBoundLatitude

getNorthBoundLatitude

double getNorthBoundLatitude()

Returns the northern-most, coordinate of the limit of the dataset extent. The value is expressed in latitude in decimal degrees (positive north).

Returns:

The northern-most latitude between -90 and +90°.

UML identifier (mandatory attribute): northBoundLatitude
