Constructor Detail

DirectionUnit

public DirectionUnit(String name,
                     String abbreviation,
                     UnitSystem unitSystem,
                     double scaleFactor,
                     double offset,
                     AngleUnit relativeUnit)

Build a user-defined DirectionUnit with a scale factor and offset to the base DirectionUnit.

Parameters:

name - the long name of the unit

abbreviation - the abbreviation of the unit

unitSystem - the unit system, e.g. SI or Imperial

scaleFactor - multiply a value in this unit by the factor to convert to the given reference unit

offset - the offset to the reference unit to add to convert to the standard (e.g., BASE) unit

relativeUnit - the corresponding relative unit belonging to this absolute unit

Method Detail

getStandardUnit

public final DirectionUnit getStandardUnit()

Specified by:

getStandardUnit in class Unit<DirectionUnit>

Returns:

the SI standard unit for this unit, or the de facto standard unit if SI is not available

getSICoefficientsString

public final String getSICoefficientsString()

Specified by:

getSICoefficientsString in class Unit<DirectionUnit>

Returns:

the SI standard coefficients for this unit, e.g., kgm/s2 or m-2s2A or m^-2.s^2.A or m^-2s^2A (not necessarily normalized)
