Constructor Detail

SpeedUnit

public SpeedUnit(LengthUnit lengthUnit,
                 DurationUnit durationUnit,
                 String name,
                 String abbreviation,
                 UnitSystem unitSystem)

Build a user-defined speed unit from a length unit and a time unit.

Parameters:

lengthUnit - LengthUnit; the unit of length for the speed unit, e.g., meter

durationUnit - DurationUnit; the unit of time for the speed unit, e.g., second

name - String; the long name of the unit

abbreviation - String; the abbreviation of the unit

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

SpeedUnit

public SpeedUnit(String name,
                 String abbreviation,
                 UnitSystem unitSystem,
                 SpeedUnit referenceUnit,
                 double scaleFactorToReferenceUnit)

Build a user-defined SpeedUnit with a conversion factor to another SpeedUnit.

Parameters:

name - String; the long name of the unit

abbreviation - String; the abbreviation of the unit

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

referenceUnit - SpeedUnit; the unit to convert to

scaleFactorToReferenceUnit - double; multiply a value in this unit by the factor to convert to the given reference unit
