Detailed Description

A unit for measurement.

The Unit class both represents a base unit and is the base class for other unit types. Base units are units defined as basis for other units. Meters and seconds are typical base units.

For base units, a name is all that is needed. Base units do however normally have three different names defined for use in expressions - abbreviation (ex. "m"), singular ("meter") and plural ("meters").

Member Function Documentation

◆ containsRelativeTo()

virtual bool Unit::containsRelativeTo ( Unit * u ) const

virtual

Reimplemented in CompositeUnit.

◆ convert() [1/2]

bool Unit::convert	(	Unit *	u,
		MathStructure &	mvalue ) const

Converts a value from specified unit and exponent to this unit. value * unit = new value * this This function cannot convert to or from CompositeUnit.

Parameters

	u	Unit to convert from.
[in,out]	mvalue	Quantity value.

Returns: true if the value was successfully converted.

◆ convert() [2/2]

bool Unit::convert	(	Unit *	u,
		MathStructure &	mvalue,
		MathStructure &	exp ) const

Converts a value from specified unit and exponent to this unit. value * (unit^exponent) = new value * (this^new exponent) This function cannot convert to or from CompositeUnit.

Parameters

	u	Unit to convert from.
[in,out]	mvalue	Quantity value.
[in,out]	exp	Exponent.

Returns: true if the value was successfully converted.

◆ copy()

virtual ExpressionItem * Unit::copy ( ) const

virtual

Implements ExpressionItem.

◆ isChildOf()

virtual bool Unit::isChildOf ( Unit * u ) const

virtual

If specified unit is a base unit for this unit, directly or with other units in between. Equivalent to u->isParentOf(this).

Reimplemented in AliasUnit.

◆ isCurrency()

bool Unit::isCurrency ( ) const

Returns if the unit is a currency (Euro is base unit).

Returns: true if the unit is a currency.

◆ isParentOf()

virtual bool Unit::isParentOf ( Unit * u ) const

virtual

If this unit is a base unit for specified unit, directly or with other units in between. Equivalent to u->isChildOf(this).

Reimplemented in AliasUnit.

◆ isSIUnit()

bool Unit::isSIUnit ( ) const

Returns if the unit is part of the SI standard.

Returns: true if the unit is part of the SI standard.

◆ print()

virtual std::string Unit::print	(	bool	plural_,
		bool	short_,
		bool	use_unicode = false,
		bool()(const char , void *)	can_display_unicode_string_function = NULL,
		void *	can_display_unicode_string_arg = NULL ) const

virtual

Returns a display string representing the unit in an expression.

Equivalent to preferredName() for Unit and AliasUnit, but closer to MathStructure::print() for CompositeUnit (prints out base expression).

Reimplemented in AliasUnit_Composite, and CompositeUnit.

◆ set()

virtual void Unit::set ( const ExpressionItem * item )

virtual

Reimplemented from ExpressionItem.

◆ setAsSIUnit()

void Unit::setAsSIUnit ( )

State that the unit is part of the SI standard. Sets system to "SI".

◆ setSystem()

void Unit::setSystem ( std::string s_system )

Sets which system/standard ("SI", "CGS", etc.) the unit is part of. Setting system to "SI" (case-insensitive), is equivalent to setAsSIUnit().

◆ setUseWithPrefixesByDefault()

void Unit::setUseWithPrefixesByDefault ( bool use_with_prefixes )

Sets whether prefixes are appropriate with this unit or not.

◆ subtype()

virtual int Unit::subtype ( ) const

virtual

Returns the subtype of the unit, corresponding to which subsubclass the object belongs to.

Returns: UnitSubtype.

Implements ExpressionItem.

Reimplemented in AliasUnit, and CompositeUnit.

◆ system()

const std::string & Unit::system ( ) const

Returns the system/standard that the unit is part of.

Returns: System string.

◆ type()

virtual int Unit::type ( ) const

virtual

Returns the type of the expression item, corresponding to which subclass the object belongs to.

Returns: ExpressionItemType.

Implements ExpressionItem.

◆ useWithPrefixesByDefault()

bool Unit::useWithPrefixesByDefault ( ) const

Returns whether prefixes should be used with this unit or not.

Returns: true if the prefixes is appropriate for this unit.
