Quantity Types

To work with various quantities, Resonite provides a generic quantity system, which allows converting between various units for a given quantity type. An example of this is converting a Distance quantity value between metric and imperial units. There are various quantity types available, which can be used with all generic quantity nodes and components. Each quantity type has default unit, which can be used to create a quantity value, which can then be converted between all known units of the given quantity type.

Technical

The quantity system is part of the Elements.Quantity assembly. Every quantity type is a struct that implements either an IQuantity<T> or IQuantitySI<T> interface.
