    Example
    LinearUnit - Convert between feet and meters
    // convert 10 feet to meters
    double metres = LinearUnit.Feet.ConvertToMeters(10);
    
    // convert 20 meters to feet
    double feet = LinearUnit.Feet.ConvertFromMeters(20.0);
    LinearUnit - Create a LinearUnit with a factory code
    try
    {
      // create a british 1936 foot
      var britFoot = LinearUnit.CreateLinearUnit(9095);
      string unitName = britFoot.Name;                        //  "Foot_British_1936"
      double conversionFactor = britFoot.ConversionFactor;    // 0.3048007491
      double metersPerUnit = britFoot.MetersPerUnit;
      int factoryCode = britFoot.FactoryCode;                 // 9095
    
      // convert 10 british 1936 feet to centimeters
      double val = britFoot.ConvertTo(10, LinearUnit.Centimeters);
    
      // convert 10 m to british 1936 feet
      val = britFoot.ConvertFromMeters(10);
    }
    catch (ArgumentException)
    {
      // ArgumentException will be thrown by CreateLinearUnit
      // in the following scenarios:
      // - if the factory code used is a non-linear factory code
      //   (i.e. it corresponds to square meters which is an area unit code)
      // - if the factory code used is invalid
      //   (i.e. it is negative or doesn't correspond to any factory code)
    }
