CreateAngularUnit(String) Method

Convenience method to create a AngularUnit instance from well-known text. This method is useful for creating a custom unit.

Syntax

C#
Visual Basic (Declaration)

public static AngularUnit CreateAngularUnit( 
   string unitWkt
)

Public Overloads Shared Function CreateAngularUnit( _
   ByVal unitWkt As String _
) As AngularUnit

Parameters

unitWkt: The well-known text.

Return Value

An AngularUnit.

Example

// custom unit - 3 radians per unit
var myAngularUnit = AngularUnit.CreateAngularUnit("myCustomAngularUnit", 3);
string Name = myAngularUnit.Name;                   // myCustomAngularUnit
double Factor = myAngularUnit.ConversionFactor;     // 3
int Code = myAngularUnit.FactoryCode;               // 0 because it is a custom angular unit
double radiansUnit = myAngularUnit.RadiansPerUnit;  // 3

// convert 10 degrees to my unit
double converted = AngularUnit.Degrees.ConvertTo(10, myAngularUnit);
// convert it back to degrees
converted = myAngularUnit.ConvertTo(converted, AngularUnit.Degrees);

// convert 1 radian into my angular units
converted = myAngularUnit.ConvertFromRadians(1);

// get the wkt
string wkt = myAngularUnit.Wkt;

// create an angular unit from this wkt
var anotherAngularUnit = AngularUnit.CreateAngularUnit(wkt);
// anotherAngularUnit.ConversionFactor = 3
// anotherAngularUnit.FactoryCode = 0    
// anotherAngularUnit.RadiansPerUnit = 3
