ConvertTo(Double,LinearUnit) Method
In This Topic
Converts a value in the unit of this instance to the provided linear unit.
Syntax
Parameters
- inDistance
- Distance in the units of this instance.
- outUnit
- Unit to convert to.
Return Value
Distance converted to the specified unit.
Exceptions
Example
LinearUnit - Convert between centimeters and millimeters
// convert 11 centimeters to millimeters
double mm = LinearUnit.Centimeters.ConvertTo(11, LinearUnit.Millimeters);
// convert the result back to centimeters
double cm = LinearUnit.Millimeters.ConvertTo(mm, LinearUnit.Centimeters);
// convert the millimeter result back to meters
double meters = LinearUnit.Millimeters.ConvertToMeters(mm);
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
