java.lang.Object

edu.iris.Fissures.Unit

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, org.omg.CORBA.portable.IDLEntity, org.omg.CORBA.portable.Streamable, org.omg.CORBA.portable.StreamableValue, org.omg.CORBA.portable.ValueBase

public abstract class Unit
extends java.lang.Object
implements org.omg.CORBA.portable.StreamableValue

A unit of measurement, derived from SI base units by multiplication of other units, prefixing of powers of ten, raising to exponents and multiplication by constants. The only shortcoming is the inability to define offsets for Celsius and Fahrenheit.
