Constructor Detail

CoordinateSystem

public CoordinateSystem(CoordinateSystemAxis... axes)

Constructs a CoordinateSystem.

CoordinateSystems are characterized by their CoordinateSystemAxes.

Parameters:

axes - the sequence (at least two) of its CoordinateSystems.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - when less than two axes are specified.
