CLASS TEMPLATE AB(3)

NAME
boost::units::absolute

SYNOPSIS

// In header: <boost/units/absolute.hpp>
template<typename Y>
class absolute {
public:
  // types
  typedef absolute< Y > this_type;
  typedef Y             value_type;
  // construct/copy/destruct
  absolute();
  absolute(const value_type &);
  absolute(const this_type &);
  absolute& operator=(const this_type &);
  // public member functions
  const value_type & value() const;
  const this_type & operator+=(const value_type &);
  const this_type & operator-=(const value_type &);
};

DESCRIPTION

A wrapper to represent absolute units (points rather than vectors). Intended originally for temperatures, this class implements operators for absolute units so that addition of a relative unit to an absolute unit results in another absolute unit : absolute<T> +/- T -> absolute<T> and subtraction of one absolute unit from another results in a relative unit : absolute<T> - absolute<T> -> T.

  absolute public construct/copy/destruct

    1.

  absolute public member functions

    1.

    const value_type & value() const;

    2.

    const this_type & operator+=(const value_type & val);
