Class UnitResolver

java.lang.Object

com.axiomalaska.phenomena.UnitResolver

public class UnitResolver
extends Object

Class for resolving a string to a ucar.units.Unit. String parsing isn't always reliable in ucar.unit (for instance, "degree" returns a ScaledUnit with a base unit of radian instead of a DerivedUnit based on degree), so we detect certain special cases here before falling back to string parsing.
