Struct template dim

boost::units::dim — Dimension tag/exponent pair for a single fundamental dimension.

Synopsis

// In header: <boost/units/dim.hpp>

template<typename T, typename V> 
struct dim {
  // types
  typedef dim         type;      
  typedef unspecified tag;       
  typedef T           tag_type;  
  typedef V           value_type;
};

Description

The dim class represents a single dimension tag/dimension exponent pair. That is, dim<tag_type,value_type> is a pair where tag_type represents the fundamental dimension being represented and value_type represents the exponent of that fundamental dimension as a static_rational. tag_type must be a derived from a specialization of base_dimension. Specialization of the following Boost.MPL metafunctions are provided - @c mpl::plus for two @c dims - @c mpl::minus for two @c dims - @c mpl::negate for a @c dim

These metafunctions all operate on the exponent, and require that the dim operands have the same base dimension tag. In addition, multiplication and division by static_rational is supported. - @c mpl::times for a @c static_rational and a @c dim in either order - @c mpl::divides for a @c static_rational and a @c dim in either order

These metafunctions likewise operate on the exponent only.
