DelphiBasics TConvFamily Variable Defines a family of measurement types as used by Convert ConvUtils unit

var   cbArea : TConvFamily;   cbDistance : TConvFamily;   cbMass : TConvFamily;   cbTemperature : TConvFamily;   cbTime : TConvFamily;   cbVolume : TConvFamily;

Description The TConvFamily variables are families of measurement types used by the powerful and useful Convert measurement utility.   Convert can convert a measurement from one type in a TConvFamily to another in the same family.   It can also convert complex measurements, such as miles per gallon.   The family contents are listed here:   cbArea family     auSquareMillimeters   auSquareCentimeters   auSquareDecimeters   auSquareMeters   auSquareDecameters   auSquareHectometers   auSquareKilometers   auSquareInches   auSquareFeet   auSquareYards   auSquareMiles   auAcres   auCentares   auAres   auHectares   auSquareRods   cbDistance family     duMicromicrons   duAngstroms   duMillimicrons   duMicrons   duMillimeters   duCentimeters   duDecimeters   duMeters   duDecameters   duHectometers   duKilometers   duMegameters   duGigameters   duInches   duFeet   duYards   duMiles   duNauticalMiles   duAstronomicalUnits   duLightYears   duParsecs   duCubits   duFathoms   duFurlongs   duHands   duPaces   duRods   duChains   duLinks   duPicas   duPoints   cbMass family     muNanograms   muMicrograms   muMilligrams   muCentigrams   muDecigrams   muGrams   muDecagrams   muHectograms   muKilograms   muMetricTons   muDrams   muGrains   muLongTons   muTons   muOunces   muPounds   muStones   cbTemperature family     tuCelsius   tuKelvin   tuFahrenheit   tuRankine   tuReamur   cbTime family     tuMilliSeconds   tuSeconds   tuMinutes   tuHours   tuDays   tuWeeks   tuFortnights   tuMonths   tuYears   tuDecades   tuCenturies   tuMillennia   tuDateTime   tuJulianDate   tuModifiedJulianDate   cbVolume family     vuCubicMillimeters   vuCubicCentimeters   vuCubicDecimeters   vuCubicMeters   vuCubicDecameters   vuCubicHectometers   vuCubicKilometers   vuCubicInches   vuCubicFeet   vuCubicYards   vuCubicMiles   vuMilliLiters   vuCentiLiters   vuDeciLiters   vuLiters   vuDecaLiters   vuHectoLiters   vuKiloLiters   vuAcreFeet   vuAcreInches   vuCords   vuCordFeet   vuDecisteres   vuSteres   vuDecasteres   vuFluidGallons   vuFluidQuarts   vuFluidPints   vuFluidCups   vuFluidGills   vuFluidOunces   vuFluidTablespoons   vuFluidTeaspoons   vuDryGallons   vuDryQuarts   vuDryPints   vuDryPecks   vuDryBuckets   vuDryBushels   vuUKGallons   vuUKPottles   vuUKQuarts   vuUKPints   vuUKGills   vuUKOunces   vuUKPecks   vuUKBuckets   vuUKBushels Related commands Convert Convert one measurement value to another TConvType Defines a measurement type as used by Convert  Download this web site as a Windows program.

Example code : Convert UK gallons to litres var   gallons, litres : Double; begin   // Define the gallons value   gallons := 1;   // Convert to litres   litres := Convert(gallons, vuUKGallons, vuLiters);   // Display both values   ShowMessageFmt('%f UK gallons = %f litres',[gallons, litres]); end; Show full unit code   1.00 UK gallons = 4.55 litres   Example code : Convert miles per gallon to kilometres per litre var   milesPerGallon, kilometresPerLitre : Double; begin   // We have a very efficient car   milesPerGallon := 58.5;   // Convert to kilometres per litre   kilometresPerLitre := Convert(milesPerGallon,                                 duMiles,                                 vuUKGallons,                                 duKilometers,                                 vuLiters);   // Display both values   ShowMessageFmt('%f UK miles per gallon = %f km per litre',                  [milesPerGallon, kilometresPerLitre]); end; Show full unit code   58.5 UK miles per gallon = 20.71 km per litre   Delphi Programming © Neil Moffatt .
