- com.pervasivecode.utils.measure.impl.SiPrefixSelector

All Implemented Interfaces:

QuantityPrefixSelector
```
public class SiPrefixSelector
extends Object
implements QuantityPrefixSelector
```
Instances select an appropriate SI prefix for a given Quantity and return the same Quantity transformed to use that prefix.
Examples: given 10,000 meters, return 10 kilometers. Given 1,000,000 joules, return 1 megajoule.
