Method Detail

getVerticalDatum

public CS_VerticalDatum getVerticalDatum()
                                  throws java.rmi.RemoteException

Gets the vertical datum, which indicates the measurement method.

Throws:

java.rmi.RemoteException - if a remote method call failed.

getVerticalUnit

public CS_LinearUnit getVerticalUnit()
                              throws java.rmi.RemoteException

Gets the units used along the vertical axis. The vertical units must be the same as the CS_CoordinateSystem units.

Throws:

java.rmi.RemoteException - if a remote method call failed.
