Detailed Description

Abstract class for prefixes.

A prefix is prepended to a unit to specify a quantity multiplicator. A prefix has a numerical value which raised to the units power defines the quantity. In for example the expression "3 kilometers", meter is the unit, 3 is regular quantity, and kilo is a prefix with a value 1000, thus the example equals "3000 meters". If the unit instead had been squared, the value of the prefix would have been raised by two and the total quantity would have been 3.000.000.

Prefixes can have up to free different three names – a long name, a short name and a short unicode name. The unicode name is an alternative to the short name that is preferred if unicode characters can be displayed. The names or used to reference the prefix in mathematical expressions and to display a prefix in a result.

		void *	can_display_unicode_string_arg = NULL ) const

Returns the name that best fulfils provided criterias and is suitable for display. If two names are equally preferred, the one with lowest index is returned.

Parameters

abbreviation	If an abbreviated name is preferred.
use_unicode	If a name with unicode characters can be displayed/is preferred (prioritized if false).
can_display_unicode_string_function	Function that tests if the unicode characters in a name can be displayed. If the function returns false, the name will be rejected.
can_display_unicode_string_arg	Argument to pass to the above test function.

Returns: The preferred name.

◆ preferredInputName()

const ExpressionName & Prefix::preferredInputName	(	bool	abbreviation = false,
		bool	use_unicode = false,
		bool	plural = false,
		bool	reference = false,
		bool()(const char , void *)	can_display_unicode_string_function = NULL,
		void *	can_display_unicode_string_arg = NULL ) const

Returns the name that best fulfils provided criterias and is suitable for user input. If two names are equally preferred, the one with lowest index is returned.

Parameters
