US_SURVEY_MILE

public static final LinearUnit US_SURVEY_MILE

STANDARD_FOOT

public static final LinearUnit STANDARD_FOOT

Standard, or international, feet, are much less common in the U.S. If in doubt what kind of feet to use, use U.S. Survey Feet instead.

Method Detail

values

public static LinearUnit[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (LinearUnit c : LinearUnit.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static LinearUnit valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null

forName

public static LinearUnit forName(java.lang.String name)

toMeters

public double toMeters(double notMeters)

fromMeters

public double fromMeters(double meters)

getFromMetersFactor

public double getFromMetersFactor()

getToMetersFactor

public double getToMetersFactor()

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

getPlural

public java.lang.String getPlural()

getAbbreviation

public java.lang.String getAbbreviation()
