GraduatedCylinder

• A typed implementation of measurable dimensions for .NET (i.e. Length, Speed, Acceleration, Jerk).
• Unit conversions are supported at runtime and for view binding. Many operators are implemented to allow derivative computations without you explicitly worrying about units, it is taken care of for you (i.e. Jerk = Acceleration / Time).
• Unit conversions are supported by an IUnitConverter interface that can be extended.

Build

You can build GraduatedCylinder using MS Visual Studio or MonoDevelop. It is recommended that anyone planning to contribute to the project familiarise themselves with the PSake build script as it is he build process for validating pull-requests and package creation.

Contribute

Contributions to GraduatedCylinder are gratefully received but we do ask you to follow certain conditions:

• Fork the main eddiegarmon/GraduatedCylinder
• Use a branch when developing in your own forked repository, DO NOT work against master
• Write one or more unit tests to validate new logic, ideally using TDD
• Ensure all projects build and all tests pass
• Make a pull request from your-fork/your-branch to GraduatedCylinder/master
• Provide a description of the motivation behind the changes

Versioning

The main contributors to the project will manage releases and SemVer-compliant version numbers.

A Simple Sample

    Mass vehicleMass = new Mass(2500, MassUnit.Pounds);
    Speed startSpeed = new Speed(72, SpeedUnit.MilesPerHour);
    Speed endSpeed = new Speed(0, SpeedUnit.MilesPerHour);
    Length stoppingDistance = new Length(1234, LengthUnit.Feet);
    Acceleration deceleration = ((endSpeed * endSpeed) - (startSpeed * startSpeed)) / (2 * stoppingDistance);
    Force stoppingForceRequired = vehicleMass * deceleration;
    Console.WriteLine("The stopping force required is:");
    Console.WriteLine("\t{0}", stoppingForceRequired.ToString(ForceUnit.Newtons));
    Console.WriteLine("\t{0}", stoppingForceRequired.ToString(ForceUnit.KilogramForce));
    Console.WriteLine("\t{0}", stoppingForceRequired.ToString(ForceUnit.PoundForce));

Future

• Flush out missing dimensions
• Flush out missing unit conversions
• Create a good string parser/evaluator
