Interface IUnit

All Known Implementing Classes:
UnitImpl

public interface IUnit

A unit describes the scale unit of the Y and X axis of a function. For example, the domain (X-axis) of a probability function can be time measured in milliseconds. In this case, Unit would contain a string "ms". For now, Unit is only a container of a string. For the future, we plan to exend it with capabilities of computing one one scale unit into another (e.g. from milliseconds ("ms") to seconds ("s") automatically.
