|
dimension
|
|
dim
|
|
| Fundamental, orthogonal directions associated available for constructing units.
|
|
| For example *mass*, *length*, *time*.
|
|
| In *xo-unit* these are represented by the enum :doc:`xo::qty::dimension<dimension-enum>`.
|
|
|
|
basis unit
|
|
bu
|
|
| An implementation type representing a quantity (with associated scale) in the direction of a single :term:`dimension`.
|
|
| For example *milliseconds*, *seconds*, and *hours* stand for different basis units within the *time* dimension.
|
|
| In *xo-unit* these are represented by the template type :doc:`xo::qty::basis_unit<basis-unit-class>`.
|
|
|
|
basis power unit
|
|
bpu
|
|
| A rational power of a (single) basis unit.
|
|
| For example :math:`s^{-2}` for unit "per second squared" or :math:`yr^{-(1/2)}` for "per square-root of a year".
|
|
| In *xo-unit* these are represented by the template type :doc:`xo::qty::bpu<bpu-class>`
|
|
|
|
natural unit
|
|
nu
|
|
| A cartesian product of basis power units (bpus);
|
|
| For example :math:`kg.m.s^{-2}` or :math:`hr^{-(1/2)}`.
|
|
| In *xo-unit* these are represented by template type :doc:`xo::qty::natural_unit<natural-unit-class>`.
|
|
|
|
scaled unit
|
|
su
|
|
| A dimensionless multiple of a natural unit.
|
|
| Used as intermediate value when coalescing quantities involving different units.
|
|
| In *xo-unit* these are represented by template type :doc:`xo::qty::scaled_unit<scaled-unit-class>`.
