Units

All unit types share a common interface. They can be constructed from numeric values, compared and combined with other units of the same physical dimension, and are implicitly converted to SI base units when passed to functions.

Note

All unit types have the same interface, so only as huira.Meter is shown for reference.

class huira.Meter

Meter unit.

Supports arithmetic with other units of the same dimension. Implicit conversion to SI base unit when passed to functions.

Example

>>> x = huira.Meter(1.0)
>>> x.to_si()

__init__(*args, **kwargs)

Overloaded function.

1. __init__(self: huira._huira.Meter) -> None

Default constructor (value = 0).

2. __init__(self: huira._huira.Meter, value: float) -> None

Create a Meter from a float.

3. __init__(self: huira._huira.Meter, value: int) -> None

Create a Meter from an int.

4. __init__(self: huira._huira.Meter, value: float) -> None

Create a Meter from a float.

raw_value(self: huira._huira.Meter) → float

Return the raw value in this unit’s scale.

to_si(self: huira._huira.Meter) → float

Return the value converted to SI base units (returns float).
