coordinate value


In Deriscope terminology, a coordinate value refers to any specific element of a
coordinate
Stated differently, a
coordinate is an ordered collection - i.e. a 1D-array - of coordinate values

For example, in the case of a volatility table with two
coordinates being the expiry and strike, the expiry coordinate may consist of the two coordinate values 1Y and 3Y, whereas the strike coordinate may consist of the three values 90, 100 and 110.
The coordinate values may be numbers, text, time periods, but they may also be tuplets if the corresponding
coordinate consists of several components.

An example of the latter is with the
Set that represents the discrete dividends in an object of type Dividend Curve, where there exist two components identified by the titles #PmtDate and #Amount
Then each coordinate value is a pair consisting of a date and a number.
In that same example, if there exist 5 discrete dividends, the applicable
coordinate will contain 5 coordinate values
