Standard Unit Suffixes for Property names
|
|
Properties which have a unit of measure are recommended to have a unit
|
suffix appended to the property name. The list below contains the
|
recommended suffixes. Other variations exist in bindings, but should not
|
be used in new bindings or added here. The inconsistency in the unit
|
prefixes is due to selecting the most commonly used variants.
|
|
It is also recommended to use the units listed here and not add additional
|
unit prefixes.
