| 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. |
