measurements. IUnitCatalog can access units through the units’ symbol or any of its
aliases. It is defined as:
Units
public interface IUnitCatalog
{
string Description { get; }
string Name { get; }
IEnumerable Systems { get; }
}
bool CanConvert (IUnit fromUnit, IUnit toUnit);
IUnitSystem CreateSystem (string name, string description,
IDictionary mapMeasurementUnit);
IEnumerable GetBaseUnitMeasurements ();
IUnitConverter
GetConverter (IUnit from, IUnit to);
IUnitSystem
GetSystem (string name);
IUnit
GetUnit (string symbolOrNameOrAlias);
IUnitMeasurement
GetUnitMeasurement (string name);
IEnumerable GetUnitMeasurements ();
IEnumberable GetUnits ();
Below is an example using IUnitCatalog:
// Find the unit service settings.
IUnitServiceSettings uss;
uss = CoreSystem.GetService();
// Get the catalog
IUnitCatalog catalog = uss.CurrentCatalog;
// Get information on catalog.
string name = catalog.Name;
string description = catalog.Description;
