Method Summary

int	getDimension() return the dimension of the (spatial?)
ElevationExtent	getElevationExtent() Lastly, an optional ElevationExtent element, lists the elevation intervals or points at which coverages may be requested from a coverage layer.
SpatialExtent	getSpatialExtent() First, a required SpatialExtent element lists the bounds along each of the spatial dimensions within which coverages may be requested from a overage layer.
TemporalExtent	getTemporalExtent() An optional TemporalExtent element, depicted in Figure 6 below, lists the times for which coverages may be requested from a coverage layer.
boolean	isTemporal() returns true if the extent is temporal

Method Detail

isTemporal

public boolean isTemporal()

returns true if the extent is temporal

getDimension

public int getDimension()

return the dimension of the (spatial?) extent

getSpatialExtent

public SpatialExtent getSpatialExtent()

First, a required SpatialExtent element lists the bounds along each of the spatial dimensions within which coverages may be requested from a overage layer.

getTemporalExtent

public TemporalExtent getTemporalExtent()

An optional TemporalExtent element, depicted in Figure 6 below, lists the times for which coverages may be requested from a coverage layer. These may consist of one or more intervals or points in time.

TemporalExtent has an optional attribute uom indicating the units of measure in which it expresses time intervals or instances.

getElevationExtent

public ElevationExtent getElevationExtent()

Lastly, an optional ElevationExtent element, lists the elevation intervals or points at which coverages may be requested from a coverage layer.

ElevationExtent has an optional attribute uom indicating the units of measure in which it expresses elevations.

ElevationExtent is intended to supplement a 2-dimensional spatial extent with elevation information.
