public interface Dimension
extends MOFClass

A Dimension is an ordinate within a multidimensional structure, and consists of an ordered list of values (i.e., members) that share a common semantic meaning within the domain being modeled. Each member designates a unique position along its ordinate. Typical Dimensions are: Time, Product, Geography, Scenario (e.g., actual, budget, forecast), Measure (e.g., sales, quantity).

Method Detail

isTime

public boolean isTime()
               throws javax.jmi.reflect.JmiException
If true, then this Dimension is a Time Dimension (i.e., its members collectively represent a time series).

setTime

public void setTime(boolean newValue)
             throws javax.jmi.reflect.JmiException
If true, then this Dimension is a Time Dimension (i.e., its members collectively represent a time series).

isMeasure

public boolean isMeasure()
                  throws javax.jmi.reflect.JmiException
If true, then this Dimension is a Measure Dimension (i.e., its members represent Measures).

setMeasure

public void setMeasure(boolean newValue)
                throws javax.jmi.reflect.JmiException
If true, then this Dimension is a Measure Dimension (i.e., its members represent Measures).
