\begin{ccRefClass} {Dimension<T, K = Kernel_traits<T>::Kernel>}

\ccDefinition
The class \ccRefName\ allows to retrieve the dimension of the ambiant space of
a type.  The dimension can also be the special constant
\ccc{Dynamic_dimension}, which value is \ccc{INT_MAX}, to indicate the case
where the dimension is only known at run time.

\ccInclude{CGAL/Dimension.h}

\ccConstants

\ccVariable{static const int value;}{ The dimension. It is implemented as \ccc{K::Dimension<T>::value}. }

\ccCreation
\ccCreationVariable{d}

\ccExample

The following retrieves the dimension of a point type.

\begin{cprog}
  typedef Point_2<K> Point;
  int dimension = Dimension<Point, K>::value;
  assert(dimension == 2);
\end{cprog}
