public interface Resolution
extends java.lang.Comparable

The interface defines the encpsulating element to coverage data description as used by the deegree WCS CoverageOffering Extension. The interface extends java.lang.Comparable to enable a container to sort its Resolutions by scale.

Method Summary

double	getMaxScale() returns the maximum scale (exculding) the Resolution is valid for.
double	getMinScale() returns the minimum scale (inculding) the Resolution is valid for.
Range[]	getRanges() returns the Ranges included with in resolution.

Method Detail

getMinScale

double getMinScale()

returns the minimum scale (inculding) the Resolution is valid for.

Returns:

the minimum scale (inculding) the Resolution is valid for.

getMaxScale

double getMaxScale()

returns the maximum scale (exculding) the Resolution is valid for.

Returns:

the maximum scale (exculding) the Resolution is valid for.

getRanges

Range[] getRanges()

returns the Ranges included with in resolution. A range is similar to those defined in OGC WCS 1.0.0 specification for CoverageOffering. But it is reduced to the elements required for identifying the coverages resources assigned to a specific combination of parameter (values).

The return value maybe is null if the Resolution just describes data from one parameter dimension (missing Range in CoverageOffering). In this case there is direct access to the data source describing element(s).

Returns:

the Ranges included with in resolution.
