A class of units of physical quantities for Ruby.
|
|
|
|
This class covers most functionality of UNIDATA's UDUNITS Library, however,
|
|
with a more sophisticated handling of string expressions.
|
|
|
|
UDUNITS always decomposes units into the four base units and discards the
|
|
original string expressions. Therefore, 'hPa' always becomes '100
|
|
kg.m-1.sec-1', and 'day' always becomes '86400 sec'. On the other hand, this
|
|
library tries to keep the original expressions as much as possible by default,
|
|
while allowing partial to complete decompositions if needed.
