Alternatively you can set up a filter for categories.
ID
the ID represents a filename (without suffix) and it is used to identify
the category and an image.
The image
You have to provide "data/images/sections/ID.png"
in the installation directory. Only png is supported. The program supports
only png, because jpg is too bad for little graphics and gif provides 8
bit color depth only. If you don't provide an image, the image called "data/images/sections/notfound.png"will be used.
The category
You have to provide "data/units/ID.list"
in the installationdirectory. Click here to
get more information about the unit's data.
Description of the units
You have to provide an suitable entry called "Category.ID=description"
to a property file. This file can be identified as "data/lang/categories*.properties".
The
exact name of the file is dependent on the actual language selection.
Special conversions
Currently the application supports 12 build-in conversions. They can't be
changed without programming. Click here to get
more information about these modules.
Significant Figures
This token is optional. It defines the significant figures. The default value is 12.
Logic
true
It's easier to say one kilometer equals 1000 meter than to say a meter
equals 0.001 kilometer. For the most conversions "true" is the better
value.
Another example (logic "true")
- 1 byte equals 1 byte
- 1 bit equals 0.125 byte
- 1 kilobyte equals 1024 byte
false
The value "false" for this token is usual for exchange rates, such as
Euroland. It's easer to say one "Deutsche Mark" equals 1.95583 Euro, than
to say one Euro equals 0.51129188... Deutsche Mark.
Another example:
- 1 byte equals 1 byte
- 1 byte equals 8 bit
- 1 byte equals 1/1024 kilobyte
