Convert value of NLength to different measurement unit

Is it possible to easily an NLength in one measurement unit into a different measurement unit?

e.g. I have a length in NGraphicsUnit.Pixel which I want to convert to NRelativeUnit.ParentPercentage

Thanks

Hi Kevin,

Yes there is an easy way to convert values from one measurement unit to another. The following code shows how to create and initialize a measurement unit converter class that can be used to perform this conversion:

NMeasurementUnitConverter converter = new NMeasurementUnitConverter(NResolution.ScreenResolution);

NSizeF rootSize = new NSizeF(200, 200);
NSizeF parentSize = new NSizeF(100, 100);
converter.InitializeRelativeMembers(rootSize, parentSize);

float parentPercentage = converter.ConvertX(NGraphicsUnit.Pixel, NRelativeUnit.ParentPercentage, 10);

Note that in general the conversion is defined when you specify x/y resolution, x/y parent size (used by the ParentPercentage unit) and x/y root size (used by the RootPercentageUnit). Hope this helps - let us know if you have any questions...
