All Implemented Interfaces:

Scale

public class GradeScale
extends Object
implements Scale

A Scale for transforming a slope as a grade, where 45 degrees is 1, and 90 degrees is infinite, to radians. The formula is: angle = atan(grade). The factor that is given, is the factor by which the value is multiplied to get a grade. When a scale is constructed for e.g. ratio as a percentage (100% instead of 1), the conversionFactor to apply is 0.01.

Constructor Detail

GradeScale

public GradeScale(double conversionFactorToGrade)

Construct a Scale for transforming a slope as a grade, where 45 degrees is 1, and 90 degrees is infinite, to radians.

Parameters:

conversionFactorToGrade - double; the conversion factor by which this number has to be multiplied to convert it to the standard (e.g., SI) unit.

Method Detail

toStandardUnit

public final double toStandardUnit(double value)

Specified by:

toStandardUnit in interface Scale

Parameters:

value - double; the value to convert

Returns:

the corresponding SI value

fromStandardUnit

public final double fromStandardUnit(double value)

Convert a value from an SI value to a value in the unit that uses this scale.

Specified by:

fromStandardUnit in interface Scale

Parameters:

value - double; the value to convert

Returns:

the corresponding value in the given unit

getConversionFactorToGrade

public final double getConversionFactorToGrade()

Returns:

conversionFactorToGrade

isBaseSIScale

public final boolean isBaseSIScale()
