\Command{\tex{unit}}
To force yourself to use dimensions and units consistently throughout your
document you can use the \type{\unit} command. Let's give a few examples:
\startbuffer
\unit{meter per square meter}
\unit{cubic meter per sec}
\unit{square milli meter per inch}
\unit{centi liter per sec}
\unit{meter inverse sec}
\unit{newton per square inch}
\unit{newton times meter per square sec}
\stopbuffer
\typebuffer
It looks like a lot of typing but it does guarantee a consistent use of units.
The command \type{\unit} also prevents linebreaking between number and unit.
The examples above come out as:
\startnarrower
\startlines
\getbuffer
\stoplines
\stopnarrower
You can add your own units with:
\shortsetup{registerunit}
and set them up with:
\shortsetup{setupunit}
\startbuffer
\registerunit[unit][inhab=inhabitants] \setupunittext[inhabitants=inh]
\registerunit[unit][north=north] \setupunittext[north= N]
\registerunit[unit][east=east] \setupunittext[east= E]
Hasselt is part of the municipality of Zwartewaterland
(coordinates \unit {52 degrees 35 arcminute north},
\unit {6 degrees 5 arcminute east}). Its area is about
\unit {88 square kilometer} (land \unit {83 square kilom}
and water \unit{5 square km}). As of 1st Augustus 2013 the
population is 22.201 that is \unit {268 inhab per square kilo
meter}).
\stopbuffer
In the example below you can see some new units and the non-consistent
use of \unit{kilo meter}.
\typebuffer
This results in:
\getbuffer
The \type{\unit} command also allows you to align rows of units in a column.
\startbuffer
\bTABLE
\bTR \bTD \bf Street \eTD \bTD \bf Length \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD Ridderstraat \eTD \bTD \unit{_,160 meter} \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD Prinsengracht \eTD \bTD \unit{_,240 meter} \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD Kalverstraat \eTD \bTD \unit{_,_60 meter} \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD H.A.W. van de Vechtlaan \eTD \bTD \unit{1,250 meter} \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD Meestersteeg \eTD \bTD \unit{_,_45 meter} \eTD \eTR
\eTABLE
\stopbuffer
When you type:
\typebuffer
It will generate a well aligned second column:
\bgroup
\setupTABLE[frame=off,offset=0pt]
\setupTABLE[c][1][width=4.5cm]
\getbuffer
\egroup
Please refer to the manual \goto {\em Units} [ url(manual:units) ] for more
information and details.
