Constructor Detail

UnitConverter

public UnitConverter()
              throws IOException,
                     UnknownHostException

Constructs a UnitConverter using ArcGIS Engine.

Throws:

IOException - if there are interop problems

UnknownHostException - if there are interop problems

UnitConverter

public UnitConverter(Object obj)
              throws IOException

Deprecated. As of ArcGIS 9.2, replaced by normal Java casts.
UnitConverter theUnitConverter = (UnitConverter) obj;

Construct a UnitConverter using a reference to such an object returned from ArcGIS Engine or Server. This is semantically equivalent to casting obj to UnitConverter.

Parameters:

obj - an object returned from ArcGIS Engine or Server

Throws:

IOException - if there are interop problems

Method Detail

getClsid

public static String getClsid()

getClsid.

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Compare this object with another

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

the hashcode for this object

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

convertUnits

public double convertUnits(double dValue,
                           int inUnits,
                           int outUnits)
                    throws IOException,
                           AutomationException

Convert Esri units.

Description

Converts the specified numeric data value from one unit of measure to another unit of measure.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:

convertUnits in interface IUnitConverter

Parameters:

dValue - The dValue (in)

inUnits - A com.esri.arcgis.system.esriUnits constant (in)

outUnits - A com.esri.arcgis.system.esriUnits constant (in)

Returns:

The outValue

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

esriUnitsAsString

public String esriUnitsAsString(int units,
                                int appearance,
                                boolean bPlural)
                         throws IOException,
                                AutomationException

Convert Esri unit enumerations to strings.

Description

Converts the specified units to a string. Specify the case (eg. lower or upper case) of the string and whether the string specifies a single unit or many unit(s).

The EsriUnitsAsString method is useful for providing text to the user interface.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:

esriUnitsAsString in interface IUnitConverter

Parameters:

units - A com.esri.arcgis.system.esriUnits constant (in)

appearance - A com.esri.arcgis.system.esriCaseAppearance constant (in)

bPlural - The bPlural (in)

Returns:

The sUnitString

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.
