Method Summary

float	from(T other) Get the multiplicative conversion factor to convert a value from the specified units to this unit.
float	getOffset(T other) Get the additive offset to convert a value from the specified unit to this unit.

Method Detail

from

float from(T other)

Get the multiplicative conversion factor to convert a value from the specified units to this unit.

Parameters:

other - another T representing the existing units of a value

Returns:

the conversion factor to change a value into this unit

getOffset

float getOffset(T other)

Get the additive offset to convert a value from the specified unit to this unit.

Parameters:

other - another T representing the existing units of a value

Returns:

the offset (after multiplying by the from() factor) to add to get the value in this unit
