Inheritance diagram for Loyc.Geometry.IPointBase< T >:

Remarks

This interface exists to work around a limitation of C#; use IPoint<T> instead.

C# cannot combine a getter property and a setter property from two interfaces, so this interface cannot inherit its getters from IPointReader<T>. The workaround is to define another getter in the read-write interface for each getter in the read-only interface. As far as the CLR is concerned, the two getters are unrelated, but you won't notice that unless you need to explicitly implement this interface.

Property Documentation

X

new T Loyc.Geometry.IPointBase< T >.X

getset

Horizontal coordinate of a point or vector.

In geographic points, X represents the longitude.

Y

new T Loyc.Geometry.IPointBase< T >.Y

getset

Vertical coordinate of a point or vector.

In 3D spaces, Y is sometimes used as a depth coordinate instead. In geographic points, Y represents the latitude.
