- :doc:`quantity<quantity-reference>`:
A quantity with unit checking and conversion done at compile-time
.. code-block:: cpp
#include "xo/unit/quantity.hpp"
auto q1 = xo::qty::qty::kilometers(7.5);
- :doc:`xquantity<xquantity-reference>`:
A quantity with unit checking and conversion done at run-time.
This is useful if unit information isn't known at compile time, for example
if reading units from console input.
.. code-block:: cpp
#include "xo/unit/xquantity.hpp"
xquantity qty1(7.5, xo::qty::u::foot)
- :doc:`scaled_unit<scaled-unit-class>`:
.. code-block:: cpp
#include "xo/unit/scaled_unit.hpp"
auto u = xo::qty::u::millimeter;
A unit involving zero or more dimensions, and associated conversion factor.
- can express result of arithmetic involving multiple scales,
by reporting an outer scalefactor
- a scaled unit is 'natural' if its outer scalefactor is 1.
- quantities are represented by associating a natural scaled_unit instance
- scaled_units are closed under multiplication and division.
- multiplication and division commit to a single :code:`basis_unit` for each
dimension.
- :doc:`natural_unit<natural-unit-class>`
.. code-block:: cpp
#include "xo/unit/natural_unit.hpp"
auto u = xo::qty::nu::millimeter;
A unit involving zero or more dimensions, and at most one scale per dimension.
A quantity instance is always represented as a dimensionless multiple
of a natural unit
- natural_units are *not* closed under multiplication and division.
(for example consider :code:`xo::qty::qty::foot * xo::qty::qty::meter`)
- :doc:`bpu<bpu-class>`
A rational (usually integer) power of a basis unit. Has a single dimension.
.. code-block:: cpp
#include "xo/unit/bpu.hpp"
xo::qty::bpu(xo::qty::detail::bu::millimeter,
xo::qty::power_ratio_type(2)); // mm^2
- :doc:`bu_store<bu-store-class>`
Associates basis units with abbreviations.
Abbreviations used to decorate printed quantities.
For example ``bu::kilogram`` => ``"kg"``
.. code-block:: cpp
#include "xo/unit/bu_store.hpp"
xo::qty::bu_abbrev_store.bu_abbrev(xo::qty::detail::bu::picogram); // "pg"
- :doc:`basis_unit<basis-unit-reference>`
A unit with a single dimension and scale.
.. code-block:: cpp
#include "xo/unit/basis_unit.hpp"
auto b = xo::qty::detail::bu::picogram;
- :doc:`dimension<dimension-enum>`
identifies a dimension, such as mass or time.
.. code-block:: cpp
#include "xo/unit/dimension.hpp"
auto d = xo::qty::dimension::mass;
