Method Detail

getCoordinateSystem

CoordinateSystem getCoordinateSystem()

Returns the coordinate system. One of coordinate system sub-interfaces is associated with single CRS. Other CRS like compound CRS may also provides a synthetic coordinate system in order to allow users to access to two commonly requested information: dimension and axis.
