I hope you don't me starting a new pull request on logarithmic units.
I decided on a new approach to support logarithmic units. This requires minimal changes to the existing code, but adds support for the four identified issues:
dBVand thenplot!dBμV? -> worksplotdBV, and thenplot!V? -> worksVand thenplot!dBV? -> worksdB/mtreated well? -> dB/m, dB/Hz, dB*m are workingNote: I found that only the
unitfunction in Unitful.jl required a fix. See the comments in the UnitfulWrapper.jl file.unitproduces inconsistent results for logarithmic units. Fixing this within Unitful.jl caused a lot of things to break (a lot of math in Unitful requires unit to behave the way it does). As a temporary fix, I took the liberty of defining a new functionfullunitwhich returns an appropriate unit instead.Finally, Unitful.jl does not have a method
ustrip(unit, quantity)for logarithmic units. I added one in the UnitfulWrapper.jl.These changes are sufficient to support logarithmic units.
I will be very grateful if you'd consider merging this PR. Let me know if you have any thoughts or comments on the solution. Improvements are also welcome.
