  - clone
```
public Object clone(CopyContext context)
```
    Clones this object using the specified context.
    
    This method should be implemented to call a copy constructor on the class of the object being cloned. The copy constructor should take the CopyContext as a parameter in addition to the existing instance to copy. The copy constructor should first call CopyContext.addObjectMapping(T, T) to identify the newly constructed instance as a copy of the existing instance. It should then copy all fields, using CopyContext.updateReference(T) to copy any reference fields.
    
    A typical implementation of ICloneWithContext:
```
public static class MyClass implements ICloneWithContext {
    public MyClass(MyClass existingInstance, CopyContext context) {
        context.addObjectMapping(existingInstance, this);
        someReference = context.updateReference(existingInstance.someReference);
    }

    @Override
    public final Object clone(CopyContext context) {
        return new MyClass(this, context);
    }

    private Object someReference;
}
```
    In general, all fields that are reference types should be copied with a call to CopyContext.updateReference(T). There are a couple of exceptions:
    1. Fields that are aggregate parts of the object should always be copied. A referenced object is an aggregate if properties or methods on the object being copied can modify the externally-visible value of the referenced object.
    2. If the semantics of the referenced object require that it have a single parent, owner, context, etc., and the object being copied is that parent, owner, or context, then the referenced object should always be copied.
    If one of these exceptions applies, the CopyContext should be given an opportunity to update the reference before the reference is copied explicitly. Use CopyContext.updateReference(T) to update the reference. If CopyContext.updateReference(T) returns the original object, indicating that the context does not have a replacement registered, then copy the object manually by invoking a Clone method, a copy constructor, or by manually constructing a new instance and copying the values.
```
alwaysCopy = context.updateReference(existingInstance.alwaysCopy);
if (existingInstance.alwaysCopy != null && alwaysCopy == existingInstance.alwaysCopy) {
    alwaysCopy = (AlwaysCopy) existingInstance.alwaysCopy.clone(context);
}
```
    If you are implementing an evaluator (a class that implements IEvaluator), the IEvaluator.updateEvaluatorReferences(agi.foundation.infrastructure.CopyContext) method shares some responsibilities with the copy context constructor. Code duplication can be avoided by doing the following:
    1. For references to other evaluators ONLY, simply assign the reference in the constructor instead of calling CopyContext.updateReference(T). You should still call CopyContext.updateReference(T) on any references to non-evaluators.
    2. Call IEvaluator.updateEvaluatorReferences(agi.foundation.infrastructure.CopyContext) as the last line in the constructor and pass it the same CopyContext passed to the constructor.
    3. Implement IEvaluator.updateEvaluatorReferences(agi.foundation.infrastructure.CopyContext) as normal. See the reference documentation for IEvaluator.updateEvaluatorReferences(agi.foundation.infrastructure.CopyContext) for more information on implementing that method.
```
public MyClass(MyClass existingInstance, CopyContext context) {
    super(existingInstance, context);
    someReference = context.updateReference(existingInstance.someReference);
    evaluatorReference = existingInstance.evaluatorReference;
    updateEvaluatorReferences(context);
}

@Override
public void updateEvaluatorReferences(CopyContext context) {
    evaluatorReference = context.updateReference(evaluatorReference);
}

@Override
public Object clone(CopyContext context) {
    return new MyClass(this, context);
}

private Object someReference;
private IEvaluator evaluatorReference;
```
    Specified by:
    
    clone in interface ICloneWithContext
    
    Specified by:
    
    clone in class DefinitionalObject
    
    Parameters:
    
    context - The context to use to perform the copy.
    
    Returns:
    
    A new instance which is a copy of this object.
  - checkForSameDefinition
```
protected final boolean checkForSameDefinition(Point other)
```
    Checks to determine if another instance has the same definition as this instance and returns true if it does. Derived classes MUST override this method and check all new fields introduced by the derived class for definitional equivalence. It is NOT necessary to check base class fields because the base class will already have done that. When overriding this method, you should NOT call the base implementation because it will return false for all derived-class instances. Derived classes should check the type of other to preserve the symmetric nature of IEquatableDefinition.isSameDefinition(java.lang.Object).
    
    Specified by:
    
    checkForSameDefinition in class Point
    
    Parameters:
    
    other - The other instance to compare to this one.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the two objects are defined equivalently; otherwise false.
  - checkForSameDefinition
```
protected boolean checkForSameDefinition(PointDifferentiator other)
```
    Checks to determine if another instance has the same definition as this instance and returns true if it does. Derived classes MUST override this method and check all new fields introduced by the derived class for definitional equivalence. It is NOT necessary to check base class fields because the base class will already have done that. When overriding this method, you should NOT call the base implementation because it will return false for all derived-class instances. Derived classes should check the type of other to preserve the symmetric nature of IEquatableDefinition.isSameDefinition(java.lang.Object).
    
    Parameters:
    
    other - The other instance to compare to this one.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the two objects are defined equivalently; otherwise false.
  - computeCurrentDefinitionHashCode
```
protected int computeCurrentDefinitionHashCode()
```
    Computes a hash code based on the current properties of this object. Derived classes MUST override this method and compute a hash code that combines: a unique hash code seed, the base implementation result, and the hash codes of all new fields introduced by the derived class which are used in the PointDifferentiator.checkForSameDefinition(agi.foundation.geometry.Point) method.
    
    Overrides:
    
    computeCurrentDefinitionHashCode in class Point
    
    Returns:
    
    The computed hash code.
  - enumerateDependencies
```
public void enumerateDependencies(DependencyEnumerator enumerator)
```
    Enumerates the dependencies of this object by calling DependencyEnumerator#enumerate(T) for each object that this object directly depends upon. Derived classes which contain additional dependencies MUST override this method, call the base implementation, and enumerate dependencies introduced by the derived class.
    
    Specified by:
    
    enumerateDependencies in interface IEnumerateDependencies
    
    Overrides:
    
    enumerateDependencies in class DefinitionalObject
    
    Parameters:
    
    enumerator - The enumerator that is informed of the dependencies of this object.
  - getDifferentiatedPoint
```
public final Point getDifferentiatedPoint()
```
    Gets the point whose highest order derivative is being differentiated
  - setDifferentiatedPoint
```
public final void setDifferentiatedPoint(Point value)
```
    Sets the point whose highest order derivative is being differentiated
  - getIncrement
```
public final double getIncrement()
```
    Gets the increment used to calculate finite differences
  - setIncrement
```
public final void setIncrement(double value)
```
    Sets the increment used to calculate finite differences
  - getDerivativeToCompute
```
public final int getDerivativeToCompute()
```
    Gets the derivative to compute by finite-differencing. For example, a value of 1 for this property indicates that the first derivative (or velocity) should be computed. A value of 0 (the default) will cause the first derivative that is not supplied directly by DifferentiatedPoint (get / set) to be computed.
    A given derivative can only be computed if the next lower order derivative exists. For example, acceleration can only be computed if velocity is already supplied by DifferentiatedPoint (get / set). If the requested derivative cannot be computed, the highest possible derivative will be computed instead.
  - setDerivativeToCompute
```
public final void setDerivativeToCompute(int value)
```
    Sets the derivative to compute by finite-differencing. For example, a value of 1 for this property indicates that the first derivative (or velocity) should be computed. A value of 0 (the default) will cause the first derivative that is not supplied directly by DifferentiatedPoint (get / set) to be computed.
    A given derivative can only be computed if the next lower order derivative exists. For example, acceleration can only be computed if velocity is already supplied by DifferentiatedPoint (get / set). If the requested derivative cannot be computed, the highest possible derivative will be computed instead.
  - getEvaluator
```
public PointEvaluator getEvaluator(EvaluatorGroup group)
```
    Gets an evaluator that can be used to find the Motion<Cartesian> of this point in its parent ReferenceFrame at a given JulianDate. This evaluator can represent derivatives of the given DifferentiatedPoint (get / set) using finite difference.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getEvaluator in class Point
    
    Parameters:
    
    group - The group with which to associate the new evaluator. By grouping evaluators that are often evaluated at the same Julian dates, common computations can be performed only once for the entire group instead of multiple times for each evaluator.
    
    Returns:
    
    An evaluator for this Point.
    
    Throws:
    
    ArgumentNullException - Thrown when group is null.
    
    PropertyInvalidException - Thrown when DifferentiatedPoint (get / set) is null, or Increment (get / set) is set to zero.
