install_conversion_constant {units} | R Documentation

## Install a conversion constant or offset between user-defined units.

### Description

Tells the `units` package how to convert between units that have a linear relationship, i.e. can be related on the form y = α x (constant) or y = α + x (offset).

### Usage

    install_conversion_constant(from, to, const)

    install_conversion_offset(from, to, const)

### Arguments

`from` | String for the symbol of the unit being converted from.
`to` | String for the symbol of the unit being converted to. One of `from` and `to` must be an existing unit name.
`const` | The constant α in the conversion.

### Details

This function handles the very common case where units are related through a linear function, that is, you can convert from one to the other as y = α x. Using this function, you specify that you can go from values of type `from` to values of type `to` by multiplying by a constant, or adding a constant.
