Coordinate system
Description
This class implements the coordinate system class. This class
definition implements the same class from the OGC geoAPI Java package,
extended with specific code for this package.
Super classes
zarr::zarr_object -> IdentifiedObject -> CoordinateSystem
Active bindings
axes(read-only) Retrieve the list of axes that make up this
coordinate system.
crsSet or retreive the CRS identifier of the coordinate system.

CoordinateSystem$new()
Create a new coordinate system. The CS must have at least
one axis.
Usage
CoordinateSystem$new(name, axes, crs = "", attributes = list())
Arguments
nameCharacter string. Name of the coordinate system.
axesA list of instances of CoordinateSystemAxis. There must
be at least one axis in the list.
crsOptional, character string with the description of the CRS of
this coordinate system, always assumed to be compound.
attributesOptional. A list of attributes of the coordinate
system.
Returns
An instance of CoordinateSystem or an error.
CoordinateSystem$print()
Print a summary of the coordinate system to the console.
Usage
CoordinateSystem$print(...)
Arguments
...Ignored.
Returns
Self, invisibly.
CoordinateSystem$print_axes()
Prints details of the axes of the coordinate system to the
console. Used internally.
Usage
CoordinateSystem$print_axes(...)
Arguments
...Arguments passed on to data.frame printing.
CoordinateSystem$getDimension()
Retrieve the dimension of the coordinate system, the number
of axes that make up the coordinate system.
Usage
CoordinateSystem$getDimension()
Returns
Integer value with the dimension of the coordinate system.
CoordinateSystem$getAxis()
Retrieve an axis of the coordinate system by its ordinal
number.
Usage
CoordinateSystem$getAxis(dimension)
Arguments
dimensionThe dimension whose axis to retrieve. Note that this is
1-based.
Returns
The CoordinateSystemAxis that forms the dimension of the
coordinate system, or an error if the dimension argument in deficient.
CoordinateSystem$clone()
The objects of this class are cloneable with this method.
Usage
CoordinateSystem$clone(deep = FALSE)
Arguments
deepWhether to make a deep clone.
