    @UML(identifier="EX_GeographicBoundingBox",
         specification=ISO_19115)
    public interface GeographicBoundingBox

extends GeographicExtent

Geographic position of the dataset. This is only an approximate so specifying the co-ordinate reference system is unnecessary.

Since:
  GeoAPI 1.0

Method Summary
`double` `getEastBoundLongitude()` Returns the eastern-most coordinate of the limit of the dataset extent.
`double` `getNorthBoundLatitude()` Returns the northern-most, coordinate of the limit of the dataset extent.
`double` `getSouthBoundLatitude()` Returns the southern-most coordinate of the limit of the dataset extent.
`double` `getWestBoundLongitude()` Returns the western-most coordinate of the limit of the dataset extent.

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°.
  Unit:
    Angle

### 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°.
  Unit:
    Angle

### 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°.
  Unit:
    Angle

### 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°.
  Unit:
    Angle
