Interface: LightingUnits
Methods:
<bool>LightingUnits.IsLightingSystemSI()
Returns true if the Lighting Units are set to International (SI) system, false if set to American (AS) sytem.
<bool>LightingUnits.IsLightingSystemAS()
Returns true if the Lighting Units are set to American (AS) system, false if set to International (SI) system.
<void>LightingUnits.SetLightingSystemToSI()
Sets the Lighting Units to International (SI) system.
<void>LightingUnits.SetLightingSystemToAS()
Sets the Lighting Units to American (AS) system.
<string>LightingUnits.GetLuminanceUnits()
Returns a string containing the Luminance Units, for example "cd/m^2" for SI and "cd/ft^2" for AS.
<string>LightingUnits.GetIlluminanceUnits()
Returns a string containing the Illuminance Units, for example "lx" for SI and "fc" for AS.
<float>LightingUnits.ConvertASToSI <float>as_value
Returns the SI value corresponding to the supplied AS value.
<float>LightingUnits.ConvertSIToAS <float>si_value
Returns the AS value corresponding to the supplied SI value.
<float>LightingUnits.ConvertToCurrentSystem <float>value <bool>is_SI_value
Returns the value in the current system corresponding to the supplied value. When is_SI_value is true , the input value is taken as SI, when false , it is taken as AS value.
