- Method Detail
  - getDimensionality
```
int getDimensionality()
```
    Returns the dimensionality of the object.
    
    Returns:
    
    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 0 ≤ 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 0 ≤ dimension < getDimensionality()
    
    Returns:
    
    the maximum coordinate at the specified dimension
