Description:
This attribute gives the highest axis value to be displayed (for instance, by the AST_GRID method).

Type:
Floating point.

Class Applicability:
Frame
The default supplied by the Frame class is to display all axis values, without any limit.

The SkyFrame class re-defines the default Top value to +90 degrees for latitude axes, and 180 degrees for co-latitude axes. The default for longitude axes is to display all axis values.
