Detailed Description

This package provides all the facilities to create and question a dictionary of units, and also to manipulate measurements which are real values with units.

Member Function Documentation

Convert()

static double Units::Convert ( const double avalue, const char *const afirstunit, const char *const asecondunit )

static

Converts <avalue> expressed in <afirstunit> into the <asecondunit>.

DictionaryOfUnits()

static occ::handle< Units_UnitsDictionary > Units::DictionaryOfUnits ( const bool amode = false )

static

Returns a unique instance of the dictionary of units. If <amode> is True, then it forces the recomputation of the dictionary of units.

Dimensions()

static occ::handle< Units_Dimensions > Units::Dimensions ( const char *const aType )

static

return the dimension associated to the Type

FirstQuantity()

static const char * Units::FirstQuantity ( const char *const aunit )

static

Returns the first quantity string founded from the unit <aUnit>.

FromSI() [1/2]

static double Units::FromSI ( const double aData, const char *const aUnit )

static

FromSI() [2/2]

static double Units::FromSI ( const double aData, const char *const aUnit, occ::handle< Units_Dimensions > & aDim )

static

LexiconFile()

static void Units::LexiconFile ( const char *const afile )

static

Defines the location of the file containing the lexicon useful in manipulating composite units.

LexiconFormula()

static occ::handle< Units_Lexicon > Units::LexiconFormula ( )

static

Return a unique instance of LexiconFormula.

LexiconUnits()

static occ::handle< Units_Lexicon > Units::LexiconUnits ( const bool amode = true )

static

Returns a unique instance of the Units_Lexicon. If <amode> is True, it forces the recomputation of the dictionary of units, and by consequence the completion of the Units_Lexicon.

NullDimensions()

static occ::handle< Units_Dimensions > Units::NullDimensions ( )

static

Returns always the same instance of Dimensions.

Quantity()

static occ::handle< Units_Quantity > Units::Quantity ( const char *const aquantity )

static

Returns a unique quantity instance corresponding to <aquantity>.

ToSI() [1/2]

static double Units::ToSI ( const double aData, const char *const aUnit )

static

ToSI() [2/2]

static double Units::ToSI ( const double aData, const char *const aUnit, occ::handle< Units_Dimensions > & aDim )

static

UnitsFile()

static void Units::UnitsFile ( const char *const afile )

static

Defines the location of the file containing all the information useful in creating the dictionary of all the units known to the system.
