```
public class DefaultCoordinateSystemAxis
extends AbstractIdentifiedObject
implements CoordinateSystemAxis
```
Coordinate system axis name, direction, unit and range of values.
Axis names
In some case, the axis name is constrained by ISO 19111 depending on the coordinate reference system type. This constraint works in two directions. For example the names "geodetic latitude" and "geodetic longitude" shall be used to designate the coordinate axis names associated with a GeographicCRS. Conversely, these names shall not be used in any other context. See the GeoAPI CoordinateSystemAxis javadoc for more information.
Immutability and thread safety
This class is immutable and thus thread-safe if the property values (not necessarily the map itself) given to the constructor are also immutable. Unless otherwise noted in the javadoc, this condition holds if all components were created using only SIS factories and static constants.

Constructor Detail

DefaultCoordinateSystemAxis

public DefaultCoordinateSystemAxis(Map<String,?> properties,
                                   String abbreviation,
                                   AxisDirection direction,
                                   Unit<?> unit)

Constructs an axis from a set of properties. The properties given in argument follow the same rules than for the super-class constructor. Additionally, the following properties are understood by this constructor:

Recognized properties (non exhaustive list)
Property name	Value type	Returned by
"minimumValue"	`Number`	`getMinimumValue()`
"maximumValue"	`Number`	`getMaximumValue()`
"rangeMeaning"	`RangeMeaning`	`getRangeMeaning()`
Defined in parent class (reminder)
"name"	`ReferenceIdentifier` or `String`	`AbstractIdentifiedObject.getName()`
"alias"	`GenericName` or `CharSequence` (optionally as array)	`AbstractIdentifiedObject.getAlias()`
"identifiers"	`ReferenceIdentifier` (optionally as array)	`AbstractIdentifiedObject.getIdentifiers()`
"remarks"	`InternationalString` or `String`	`AbstractIdentifiedObject.getRemarks()`

Generally speaking, information provided in the properties map are considered ignorable metadata (except the axis name) while information provided as explicit arguments may have an impact on coordinate transformation results. Exceptions to this rule are the minimumValue and maximumValue in the particular case where rangeMeaning is RangeMeaning.WRAPAROUND.

If no minimum, maximum and range meaning are specified, then this constructor will infer them from the axis unit and direction.

Parameters:: properties - the properties to be given to the identified object.; abbreviation - the abbreviation used for this coordinate system axis.; direction - the direction of this coordinate system axis.; unit - the unit of measure used for this coordinate system axis.

DefaultCoordinateSystemAxis
```
protected DefaultCoordinateSystemAxis(CoordinateSystemAxis axis)
```
Creates a new coordinate system axis with the same values than the specified one. This copy constructor provides a way to convert an arbitrary implementation into a SIS one or a user-defined one (as a subclass), usually in order to leverage some implementation-specific API.
This constructor performs a shallow copy, i.e. the properties are not cloned.

Parameters:

axis - the coordinate system axis to copy.

castOrCopy(CoordinateSystemAxis)

Method Detail
- castOrCopy
```
public static DefaultCoordinateSystemAxis castOrCopy(CoordinateSystemAxis object)
```
  Returns a SIS axis implementation with the same values than the given arbitrary implementation. If the given object is null, then this method returns null. Otherwise if the given object is already a SIS implementation, then the given object is returned unchanged. Otherwise a new SIS implementation is created and initialized to the values of the given object.
  
  Parameters:
  
  object - the object to get as a SIS implementation, or null if none.
  
  Returns:
  
  a SIS implementation containing the values of the given object (may be the given object itself), or null if the argument was null.
- getInterface
```
public Class<? extends CoordinateSystemAxis> getInterface()
```
  Returns the GeoAPI interface implemented by this class. The SIS implementation returns CoordinateSystemAxis.class.
  Note for implementers: Subclasses usually do not need to override this method since GeoAPI does not define CoordinateSystemAxis sub-interface. Overriding possibility is left mostly for implementers who wish to extend GeoAPI with their own set of interfaces.
  
  Overrides:
  
  getInterface in class AbstractIdentifiedObject
  
  Returns:
  
  CoordinateSystemAxis.class or a user-defined sub-interface.
- getDirection
```
public AxisDirection getDirection()
```
  Returns the direction of this coordinate system axis. This direction is often approximate and intended to provide a human interpretable meaning to the axis. A coordinate system can not contain two axes having the same direction or opposite directions.
  Examples: north or south, east or west, up or down.
  
  Specified by:
  
  getDirection in interface CoordinateSystemAxis
  
  Returns:
  
  the direction of this coordinate system axis.
- getAbbreviation
```
public String getAbbreviation()
```
  Returns the abbreviation used for this coordinate system axes. Examples are "X" and "Y".
  
  Specified by:
  
  getAbbreviation in interface CoordinateSystemAxis
  
  Returns:
  
  the coordinate system axis abbreviation.
- getUnit
```
public Unit<?> getUnit()
```
  Returns the unit of measure used for this coordinate system axis. If this CoordinateSystemAxis was given by CoordinateSystem.getAxis(i), then all coordinate values at dimension i in a coordinate tuple shall be recorded using this unit of measure.
  
  Specified by:
  
  getUnit in interface CoordinateSystemAxis
  
  Returns:
  
  the unit of measure used for coordinate values along this coordinate system axis.
- getMinimumValue
```
public double getMinimumValue()
```
  Returns the minimum value normally allowed for this axis, in the unit of measure for the axis. If there is no minimum value, then this method returns negative infinity.
  
  Specified by:
  
  getMinimumValue in interface CoordinateSystemAxis
  
  Returns:
  
  the minimum value normally allowed for this axis.
- getMaximumValue
```
public double getMaximumValue()
```
  Returns the maximum value normally allowed for this axis, in the unit of measure for the axis. If there is no maximum value, then this method returns negative infinity.
  
  Specified by:
  
  getMaximumValue in interface CoordinateSystemAxis
  
  Returns:
  
  the maximum value normally allowed for this axis.
- getRangeMeaning
```
public RangeMeaning getRangeMeaning()
```
  Returns the meaning of axis value range specified by the minimum and maximum values. If there is no minimum and maximum values (i.e. if those values are negative infinity and positive infinity respectively), then this method returns null.
  
  Specified by:
  
  getRangeMeaning in interface CoordinateSystemAxis
  
  Returns:
  
  the meaning of axis value range, or null if unspecified.
- isHeuristicMatchForName
```
public boolean isHeuristicMatchForName(String name)
```
  Returns true if either the primary name or at least one alias matches the given string according heuristic rules. This method performs the comparison documented in the super-class, with an additional flexibility for latitudes and longitudes:
  - "Lat", "Latitude" and "Geodetic latitude" are considered equivalent.
  - "Lon", "Longitude" and "Geodetic longitude" are considered equivalent.
  The above special cases are needed in order to workaround a conflict in specifications: ISO 19111 states explicitly that the latitude and longitude axis names shall be "Geodetic latitude" and "Geodetic longitude", while the legacy OGC 01-009 (where version 1 of the WKT format is defined) said that the default values shall be "Lat" and "Lon".
  Future evolutions
  This method implements heuristic rules learned from experience while trying to provide inter-operability with different data producers. Those rules may be adjusted in any future SIS version according experience gained while working with more data producers.
  Overrides:
  
  isHeuristicMatchForName in class AbstractIdentifiedObject
  
  Parameters:
  
  name - the name to compare.
  
  Returns:
  
  true if the primary name of at least one alias matches the specified name.
  
  See Also:
  
  IdentifiedObjects.isHeuristicMatchForName(IdentifiedObject, String), Characters.Filter.LETTERS_AND_DIGITS
- equals
```
public boolean equals(Object object,
                      ComparisonMode mode)
```
  Compares the specified object with this axis for equality. The strictness level is controlled by the second argument. This method compares the following properties in every cases:
  In the particular case where getRangeMeaning() is WRAPAROUND, then getMinimumValue() and getMaximumValue() are considered non-ignorable metadata and will be compared for every modes. All other properties are compared only for modes stricter than ComparisonMode.IGNORE_METADATA.
  Specified by:
  
  equals in interface LenientComparable
  
  Overrides:
  
  equals in class AbstractIdentifiedObject
  
  Parameters:
  
  object - the object to compare to this.
  
  mode - STRICT for performing a strict comparison, or IGNORE_METADATA for comparing only properties relevant to coordinate transformations.
  
  Returns:
  
  true if both objects are equal.
  
  See Also:
  
  AbstractIdentifiedObject.computeHashCode(), Utilities.deepEquals(Object, Object, ComparisonMode)
- computeHashCode
```
protected long computeHashCode()
```
  Invoked by hashCode() for computing the hash code when first needed. See AbstractIdentifiedObject.computeHashCode() for more information.
  
  Overrides:
  
  computeHashCode in class AbstractIdentifiedObject
  
  Returns:
  
  the hash code value. This value may change in any future Apache SIS version.
- formatTo
```
protected String formatTo(Formatter formatter)
```
  Formats this axis as a Well Known Text Axis[…] element.
  Constraints for WKT validity
  The ISO 19162 specification puts many constraints on axis names, abbreviations and directions allowed in WKT. Most of those constraints are inherited from ISO 19111 — see CoordinateSystemAxis javadoc for some of those. The current Apache SIS implementation does not verify whether this axis name and abbreviation are compliant; we assume that the user created a valid axis. The only actions (derived from ISO 19162 rules) taken by this method (by default) are:
  - Replace “Geodetic latitude” and “Geodetic longitude” names (case insensitive) by “latitude” and “longitude” respectively.
  - For latitude and longitude axes, replace “φ” and “λ” abbreviations by “B” and “L” respectively (from German “Breite” and “Länge”, used in academic texts worldwide). Note that “L” is also the transliteration of Greek letter “lambda” (λ).
  - In SphericalCS, replace “φ” and “θ” abbreviations by “U” and “V” respectively.
  - In PolarCS, replace “θ” abbreviation by “U”.
  The above-cited replacements of name and Greek letters can be controlled by a call to WKTFormat.setTransliterator(Transliterator).
  Overrides:
  
  formatTo in class AbstractIdentifiedObject
  
  Parameters:
  
  formatter - the formatter where to format the inner content of this WKT element.
  
  Returns:
  
  "Axis".
