Constructor Detail

SIUnit

public SIUnit(String siCoefficientString)

Create an arbitrary SI unit based on a coefficient string, such as m3/cd2.

Parameters:

siCoefficientString - String; textual description of the unit.

SIUnit

public SIUnit(String siCoefficientString,
              boolean standardUnit)

Create an arbitrary SI unit based on a coefficient string, such as m3/cd2.

Parameters:

siCoefficientString - String; textual description of the unit.

standardUnit - boolean; if true; the new unit is standard and there should be localization info; if false; localization will not be available

Method Detail

getStandardUnit

public final SIUnit getStandardUnit()

Specified by:

getStandardUnit in class Unit<SIUnit>

Returns:

the SI standard unit for this unit, or the de facto standard unit if SI is not available

getSICoefficientsString

public final String getSICoefficientsString()

Specified by:

getSICoefficientsString in class Unit<SIUnit>

Returns:

the SI standard coefficients for this unit, e.g., kgm/s2 or m-2s2A or m^-2.s^2.A or m^-2s^2A (not necessarily normalized)
