The IlvPrintUnit Class

The IlvPrintUnit class allows you to describe a dimensional unit. Units of various types can be converted.

Four commonly used units have been defined:

• IlvPrintPointUnit represents units in centimeters. This is the reference unit.

• IlvPrintCMUnit represents units in centimeters.

• IlvPrintInchUnit represents units in inches.

• IlvPrintPicaUnit represents units in centimeters.

This class is mainly useful when using IlvPSPrinter.

Converting units:

IlvPrintCMUnit oneMeter(100.0);

IlvPrintInchUnit oneMeterInInches(oneMeter);

IlvDim result = oneMeterInInches.getUnits();
