units
=====

The pynbody units module consists of a set of classes for tracking units.

It relates closely to the :mod:`~pynbody.array` module, which defines
an extension to numpy arrays which carries unit information.

Making units
------------

Units are generated and used at various points through the pynbody
framework. Quite often the functions where users interact with units
simply accept strings.

You can also make units yourself in two ways. Either you can create a string, and
instantiate a Unit like this:

>>> units.Unit("Msol kpc**-3")
>>> units.Unit("2.1e12 m_p cm**-2/3")

Or you can do it within python, using the named Unit objects

>>> units.Msol * units.kpc**-3
>>> 2.1e12 * units.m_p * units.cm**(-2,3)

In the last example, either a tuple describing a fraction or a
Fraction instance (from the standard python module fractions) is
acceptable.


Getting conversion ratios
-------------------------

To convert one unit to another, use the ``ratio`` member function:

>>> units.Msol.ratio(units.kg)
1.99e30
>>> (units.Msol / units.kpc**3).ratio(units.m_p/units.cm**3)
4.04e-8

If the units cannot be converted, a UnitsException is raised:

>>> units.Msol.ratio(units.kpc)
UnitsException

Specifying numerical values
---------------------------

Sometimes it's necessary to specify a numerical value in the course
of a conversion. For instance, consider a comoving distance; this
can be specified in pynbody units as follows:

>>> comoving_kpc = units.kpc * units.a

where units.a represents the scalefactor. We can attempt to convert
this to a physical distance as follows

>>> comoving_kpc.ratio(units.kpc)

but this fails, throwing a UnitsException. On the other hand we
can specify a value for the scalefactor when we request the conversion

>>> comoving_kpc.ratio(units.kpc, a=0.5)
0.5

and the conversion completes with the expected result. The units
module also defines units.h for the dimensionless hubble constant,
which can be used similarly. *By default, all conversions happening
within a specific simulation context should pass in values for
a and h as a matter of routine.*

Any IrreducibleUnit (see below) can have a value specified in this way,
but a and h are envisaged to be the most useful applications.

Defining new base units
-----------------------

The units module is fully extensible: you can define and name your own
units which then integrate with all the standard functions.

.. code-block:: python

   litre = units.NamedUnit("litre",0.001*units.m**3)
   gallon = units.NamedUnit("gallon",0.004546*units.m**3)
   gallon.ratio(litre) # 4.546
   (units.pc**3).ratio(litre) # 2.94e52


You can even define completely new dimensions.

.. code-block:: python

    V = units.IrreducibleUnit("V") # define a volt
    C = units.NamedUnit("C", units.J/V) # define a coulomb
    q = units.NamedUnit("q", 1.60217646e-19*C) # elementary charge
    F = units.NamedUnit("F", C/V) # Farad
    epsilon0 = 8.85418e-12 *F/units.m


>>> (q*V).ratio("eV")
1.000
>>> ((q**2)/(4*math.pi*epsilon0*units.m**2)).ratio("N")
2.31e-28
