Coordinate System Representation Item
#####################################

An axis system.

An :c:type:`~A3DRiCoordinateSystem`\ is an :c:type:`~A3DRiRepresentationItem`\ that specifies a coordinate system. The :c:struct:`~A3DRiCoordinateSystemData`\ structure contains an :c:type:`~A3DMiscCartesianTransformation`\ axis system. This axis system owns the geometric data: there is no particular geometry attached, and the user is responsible for representation.


   An :c:type:`~A3DRiCoordinateSystem`\ is an :c:type:`~A3DRiRepresentationItem`\ and not an :c:type:`~A3DMiscCartesianTransformation`\ . Being a representation item, a coordinate system can own a local coordinate system (on the RI level), which can also own a local coordinate system, and so on...


**Returns**


   ``A3D_SUCCESS``\ on success, or an error code on failure
