the dimensionality

getMin

double getMin(int dimension)

Returns the minimum coordinate at the specified dimension.

Parameters:

dimension - the dimension for which the coordinate should be returned, where 1 ≤ dimension ≤ getDimensionality()

Returns:

the minimum coordinate at the specified dimension

getMax

double getMax(int dimension)

Returns the maximum coordinate at the specified dimension.

Parameters:

dimension - the dimension for which the coordinate should be returned, where 1 ≤ dimension ≤ getDimensionality()

Returns:

the maximum coordinate at the specified dimension
