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 a base 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 class implementing IQuantity and IQuantity<T> interfaces.
