Defines a unit of measurement.
Different types of unit of measurement can be used throughout ArcGIS Runtime. Projected coordinate systems define coordinates using linear measurements, for example using meters or miles, which are represented by AGSLinearUnit. Linear units are also used to return distance measurements, for example by some members of AGSGeometryEngine. Geographic coordinate systems define coordinates using angular measurements, for example using degrees or radians, which are represented by AGSAngularUnit. Methods that calculate the size of areas, for example in acres or square kilometers, use area units. These are represented by AGSAreaUnit. Linear, angular, and area units can be defined by using enumerations of the most common units of measurement. They can also be defined by Well-Known ID (WKID) or Well-Known Text (WKText).
