Description

The Define function allows you to define the properties of a angular unit of measure. The radiansPerUnit parameter defines the relationship of a unit object to radians.

[C#] 
private void defineAngularUnit()
{
    IAngularUnit angularUnit = new AngularUnitClass();
    //Query interface for AngularUnitEdit
    IAngularUnitEdit angularUnitEdit = angularUnit as IAngularUnitEdit;
    //Define the properties for the angular unit
    object name = "Degree";
    object alias = "Degree";
    object abbreviation = "Deg";
    object remarks = "Angular unit is degree";
    object radiantsPerUnit = 1;
    angularUnitEdit.Define(ref name, ref alias, ref abbreviation, ref remarks, ref radiantsPerUnit);
}
[Visual Basic .NET]

    Sub DefineAngularUnit()
        Dim pAngUnit As IAngularUnit
        Dim pAngUnitEdit As IAngularUnitEdit
        pAngUnit = New AngularUnit
        'Query interface for AngularUnitEdit
        pAngUnitEdit = pAngUnit

        'Define the properties for the angular unit
        pAngUnitEdit.Define(Name:="Degree", Alias:="Degree", Abbreviation:="Deg", Remarks:="Angular unit is degree", RadiansPerUnit:=1)
    End Sub
