New dimensions

[carbonmetrics]

Following the Syntax overview:

How does this work?

it would be clearer to group the warhol example lines:

dimension Fame
@metric_prefixes
@aliases(wh: short)
unit warhol: Fame
print(2 kilowarhol)

[sharkdp]

How does this work?

@metric_prefixes and other decorators can not be used as standalone statements. They need to be followed by a (unit) definition.

You can achieve this by copying & pasting the whole

@metric_prefixes
@aliases(wh: short)
unit warhol: Fame

block (all three lines) into the CLI. Or, if you want to type it, you can press Alt+Enter for a multiline input. Or you could just write everything on a single line, if you prefer:

@metric_prefixes @aliases(wh: short) unit warhol: Fame

[carbonmetrics]

Thanks! This works, if dimension Fame is typed before copy/pasting the block.
