Detailed Description

Quantity class defines value, unit pairs.

Units are set at construction and are modified by arithmetic operations. The constructors and assignment operator ensure that this class behaves as "plain old data" (POD) by cloning any units information (to avoid multiple objects pointing to the exact same unit data).

Member Function Documentation

int openstudio::Quantity::baseUnitExponent ( const std::string &  baseUnit) const

Base unit exponent getter.

Returns 0 if baseUnit not present.

std::vector<std::string> openstudio::Quantity::baseUnits ( ) const

Vector of base units available to the Quantity.

bool openstudio::Quantity::isAbsolute ( ) const

Throws if !units().optionalCast<TemperatureUnit>().

bool openstudio::Quantity::isRelative ( ) const

Throws if !units().optionalCast<TemperatureUnit>().

bool openstudio::Quantity::isTemperature ( ) const

Returns true if units().optionalCast<TemperatureUnit>().

void openstudio::Quantity::lbfToLbm ( )

Conversions for pounds mass to pounds force.

These functions will throw if !units().optionalCast<IPUnit>().

void openstudio::Quantity::lbmToLbf ( )

Conversions for pounds mass to pounds force.

These functions will throw if !units().optionalCast<IPUnit>().

Quantity& openstudio::Quantity::operator*= ( const Quantity rQuantity)

Multiply and assign operator.

Throws if Quantity is a particular system and rQuantity is not the same system.

Quantity& openstudio::Quantity::operator*= ( double  d)

Multiply by double.

No impact to units or scale. Does not throw.

Quantity& openstudio::Quantity::operator+= ( const Quantity rQuantity)

Add and assign operator.

Throws if units are not equal.

Quantity& openstudio::Quantity::operator-= ( const Quantity rQuantity)

Subtract and assign operator.

Throws if units are not equal.

Quantity& openstudio::Quantity::operator/= ( const Quantity rQuantity)

Divide and assign operator.

Throws if Quantity is a particular system and rQuantity is not the same system.

Quantity& openstudio::Quantity::operator/= ( double  d)

Divide by double.

No impact to units or scale. Does not throw.

Quantity& openstudio::Quantity::operator= ( const Quantity q)
Quantity& openstudio::Quantity::pow ( int  expNum,
int  expDenom = 1 
)

Raise Quantity to a rational power.

Throws openstudio::Exception if expDenom is not a common divisor for all baseUnit and scale exponents. Returned scale exponent may differ from expectation based on initialization of openstudio::ScaleFactory, see Scale operators declared in ScaleFactory.hpp.

std::string openstudio::Quantity::prettyUnitsString ( bool  withScale = true) const

Pretty string for this quantity's units.

For instance N = kg*m/s^2.

See also
Unit::prettyUnitsString
Scale openstudio::Quantity::scale ( ) const

Scale getter.

void openstudio::Quantity::setAsAbsolute ( )

Set temperature as absolute.

Throws if !units().optionalCast<TemperatureUnit>().

void openstudio::Quantity::setAsRelative ( )

Set temperature as relative.

Throws if !units().optionalCast<TemperatureUnit>().

void openstudio::Quantity::setBaseUnitExponent ( const std::string &  baseUnit,
int  exponent 
)

Sets the exponent of a base unit in this Quantity's m_units.

This function will throw if baseUnit is not a valid option for this type of unit. A generic Unit allows any base unit to be set.

void openstudio::Quantity::setPrettyUnitsString ( const std::string &  str)

Sets the prettystring for this Quantity's m_units.

openstudio::Unit attempts to keep up with prettyStrings, but makes no promises. Precondition: isCompoundUnit(str). Otherwise throws.

bool openstudio::Quantity::setScale ( int  scaleExponent)

Sets the scale to the one registered in ScaleFactory for 10^scaleExponent.

bool openstudio::Quantity::setScale ( const std::string &  scaleAbbreviation)

Sets the scale to the one registered in ScaleFactory under scaleAbbreviation.

void openstudio::Quantity::setValue ( double  newValue)

Value setter.

std::string openstudio::Quantity::standardUnitsString ( bool  withScale = true) const

Units in string form.

LaTeX mathematical formatting–_ for subscripting, ^ for superscripting. Curly braces {} are used for grouping.

See also
Unit::standardUnitsString
UnitSystem openstudio::Quantity::system ( ) const
Unit openstudio::Quantity::units ( ) const

Returns deep copy (clone) of this Quantity's units.

double openstudio::Quantity::value ( ) const
