Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
AbstractConverter	compose(AbstractConverter left, AbstractConverter right, BiPredicate<AbstractConverter,AbstractConverter> canReduce, BinaryOperator<AbstractConverter> doReduce)	Takes two converters left, right and returns a (not necessarily new) converter that is equivalent to the mathematical composition of these:
static ConverterCompositionHandler	yieldingNormalForm()

Method Detail

compose

AbstractConverter compose(AbstractConverter left,
                          AbstractConverter right,
                          BiPredicate<AbstractConverter,AbstractConverter> canReduce,
                          BinaryOperator<AbstractConverter> doReduce)

Takes two converters left, right and returns a (not necessarily new) converter that is equivalent to the mathematical composition of these:

compose(left, right) === left o right

Implementation Note: Instead of using AbstractConverter as parameter and result types, this could be generalized to UnitConverter, but that would require some careful changes within AbstractConverter itself.

Parameters:

left -

right -

canReduce -

doReduce -

Returns:

yieldingNormalForm

static ConverterCompositionHandler yieldingNormalForm()

Returns:

the default built-in UnitCompositionHandler which is yielding a normal-form, required to decide whether two UnitConverters are equivalent
