basis dimension
|
|
Orthogonal directions associated with basis units, for example *mass*, *length*, *time*.
|
|
In xo-unit these are represented by the enum ``xo::qty::dim``.
|
|
|
|
basis unit
|
|
An implementation type representing a quantity (with associated scale) in the direction of a single :term:`basis dimension`.
|
|
For example *milliseconds*, *seconds*, and *hours* stand for different basis units with the *time* dimension.
|
|
In xo-unit these are represented by the template type ``xo::qty::basis_unit``.
|
|
|
|
bpu
|
|
A rational power of a (single) basis unit. For example *s\ :sup:-2* or *hr\ :sup:-(1/2)*.
|
|
In xo-unit these are represented by the template type ``xo::qty::bpu``.
|
|
|
|
nu
|
|
A cartesian product of basis power units (bpus). For example *kg.m.s\ :sup:-2* or *hr\ :sup:-(1/2)*.
|
|
In xo-unit these are represented by template type ``xo::qty::natural_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 ``xo::qty::scaled_unit``.
|
|
|
|
XO
|
|
A set of integrated c++ libraries for complex event processing, with browser and python integration.
