smartunits
==========
A [LaTeX](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaTeX) package that implements
automatic conversions between (some) metric and Imperial units. All units are
printed using siuntx
Example
-------
```tex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{smartunits}
\begin{document}
\SmartUnitSettings{metric imperial, places=1}
\SmartUnit{km=100.0,figures=1} % 100 km (60 mi)
\SmartUnit{miles=62.15,places=1} % 100 km (62.2 mi)
\SmartUnit{cm=10} % 10 cm (3.9")
\SmartUnit{celsius=20} % 20 C (68.0 F)
\SmartUnit{miles=5.0} % 8.0 km (5.0 mi)
\SmartUnit{miles=5.0, figures=1} % 8 km (5 mi)
\SmartUnit{hours=0, minutes=59} % 0:59 (12:59 AM)
\SmartUnit{hours=12, minutes=12} % 12:12 (12:12 PM)
\SmartUnit{kg=10.0, places=1} % 10.0kg (22.0 lbs)
\SmartUnit{pound=10.0,figures=1} % 5kg (10 lbs)
\SmartUnit{l=10.0, places=1} % 10.0l (2.6gal)
\SmartUnit{L=10.0, places=1,uk} % 10.0L (2.2gal)
\end{document}
```
Units supported
---------------
Currently smartunits converts between the following five classes of units:
============ ==============
Metric Imperial
------------ -------------- -------------
kilometers miles (distance)
centimeters feet and inches (length)
Celsius Fahrenheit (temperature)
24-hour time 12-hour time (time)
litres USA/UK gallons (volume)
kilograms pounds (weight)
============ ============== =============
It is quite easy to extend the code to other units. I am happy to consider new requests.
Requirements
------------
The package requires
[pgfkeys](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/pgfkeys) and
[siunitx](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/siunitx).
