All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Serializable`, `Emptiable`, `LenientComparable`, `IdentifiedObject`, `Georeferenceable`, `GridSpatialRepresentation`, `SpatialRepresentation`

public class DefaultGeoreferenceable extends DefaultGridSpatialRepresentation implements Georeferenceable
Grid with cells irregularly spaced in any given geographic/map projection coordinate reference system. Individual cells can be geolocated using geolocation information supplied with the data but cannot be geolocated from the grid properties alone.

The following properties are mandatory in a well-formed metadata according ISO 19115:

`MD_Georeferenceable` `├─numberOfDimensions…………………………………………………` Number of independent spatial-temporal axes. `├─axisDimensionProperties……………………………………` Information about spatial-temporal axis properties. `│ ├─dimensionName……………………………………………………` Name of the axis. `│ └─dimensionSize……………………………………………………` Number of elements along the axis. `├─cellGeometry…………………………………………………………………` Identification of grid data as point or cell. `├─transformationParameterAvailability……` Indication of whether or not parameters for transformation exists. `├─controlPointAvailability…………………………………` Indication of whether or not control point(s) exists. `├─orientationParameterAvailability……………` Indication of whether or not orientation parameters are available. `├─geolocationInformation………………………………………` Information that can be used to geolocate the data. `└─georeferencedParameters……………………………………` Terms which support grid data georeferencing.

## Limitations

- Instances of this class are not synchronized for multi-threading. Synchronization, if needed, is caller's responsibility.
- Serialized objects of this class are not guaranteed to be compatible with future Apache SIS releases. Serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Apache SIS. For long term storage, use `XML` instead.

Since:
  0.3

- ## Constructor Details

  - ### DefaultGeoreferenceable

    public DefaultGeoreferenceable()
    Constructs an initially empty georeferenceable.

  - ### DefaultGeoreferenceable

    public DefaultGeoreferenceable(Georeferenceable object)
    Constructs a new instance initialized with the values from the specified metadata object. This is a shallow copy constructor, because the other metadata contained in the given object are not recursively copied.
    Parameters:
      `object` - the metadata to copy values from, or `null` if none.
    See Also:
      - `castOrCopy(Georeferenceable)`

- ## Method Details

  - ### castOrCopy

    public static DefaultGeoreferenceable castOrCopy(Georeferenceable object)
    Returns a SIS metadata implementation with the values of the given arbitrary implementation. This method performs the first applicable action in the following choices:
    - If the given object is `null`, then this method returns `null`.
    - Otherwise if the given object is already an instance of `DefaultGeoreferenceable`, then it is returned unchanged.
    - Otherwise a new `DefaultGeoreferenceable` instance is created using the copy constructor and returned. Note that this is a shallow copy operation, because the other metadata contained in the given object are not recursively copied.
    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.

  - ### isControlPointAvailable

    public boolean isControlPointAvailable()
    Returns an indication of whether or not control point(s) exists.
    Specified by:
      `isControlPointAvailable` in interface `Georeferenceable`
    Returns:
      whether or not control point(s) exists.

  - ### setControlPointAvailable

    public void setControlPointAvailable(boolean newValue)
    Sets an indication of whether or not control point(s) exists.
    Parameters:
      `newValue` - `true` if control points are available.

  - ### isOrientationParameterAvailable

    public boolean isOrientationParameterAvailable()
    Returns an indication of whether or not orientation parameters are available.
    Specified by:
