    Example
    LinearUnit - Create a Custom LinearUnit
    // create a custom linear unit - there are 0.33 meters per myLinearUnit
    var myLinearUnit = LinearUnit.CreateLinearUnit("myCustomLinearUnit", 0.33);
    string name = myLinearUnit.Name;                          // myCustomLinearUnit
    double convFactor = myLinearUnit.ConversionFactor;        // 0.33
    int code = myLinearUnit.FactoryCode;                      // 0 for custom units
    double metersUnit = myLinearUnit.MetersPerUnit;           // 0.33
    string toString = myLinearUnit.ToString();                // same as Name - myCustomLinearUnit
    
    // convert 10 centimeters to myLinearUnit 
    double convertedVal = LinearUnit.Centimeters.ConvertTo(10, myLinearUnit);
    
    
    // get the wkt
    string lu_wkt = myLinearUnit.Wkt;
    
    // create an angular unit from this wkt
    var anotherLinearUnit = LinearUnit.CreateLinearUnit(lu_wkt);
    // anotherLinearUnit.ConversionFactor = 0.33
    // anotherLinearUnit.FactoryCode = 0    
    // anotherLinearUnit.MetersPerUnit = 0.33
