A class to handle units of physical quantities for Ruby Maintained by:murashin@gfd-dennou.org Port Added: 14 Mar 2004 16:18:52 Also Listed In:ruby License: BSD
A class of units of physical quantities for Ruby.
This class covers most functionality of UNIDATA's UDUNITS Library, however,
with a more sophisticated handling of string expressions.
UDUNITS always decomposes units into the four base units and discards the
original string expressions. Therefore, 'hPa' always becomes '100
kg.m-1.sec-1', and 'day' always becomes '86400 sec'. On the other hand, this
library tries to keep the original expressions as much as possible by default,
while allowing partial to complete decompositions if needed.

Add ruby-numru_units, a Ruby class to handle units of physical quantities
like 'hPa' -> '100 kg.m-1.sec-1' etc..
