In addition its sides are parallel to the axes of the Β placement space.
FigureΒ 3.7.46 illustrates the notion of orthotope for and 4.
A collection usually named , declared as
,
defines for each dimension (with ) the coordinate of its lower corner,
the size and the coordinate of its upper corner in dimension .
