Method Detail

getWestBoundLongitude

@UML(identifier="westBoundLongitude",
     obligation=MANDATORY,
     specification=ISO_19115)
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°.

getEastBoundLongitude

@UML(identifier="eastBoundLongitude",
     obligation=MANDATORY,
     specification=ISO_19115)
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°.

getSouthBoundLatitude

@UML(identifier="southBoundLatitude",
     obligation=MANDATORY,
     specification=ISO_19115)
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°.

getNorthBoundLatitude

@UML(identifier="northBoundLatitude",
     obligation=MANDATORY,
     specification=ISO_19115)
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°.
