GYOTO converters.
As a (recommended) option, Gyoto can use the libudunits2 library by UCAR/Unidata (http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/udunits/udunits-2/udunits2.html) to perform conversions to and from various units. Since udunits parses units, the following are equivalent for instance: "mJy.sr-1", "mJy/sr", "1e-3Jy/sr". Gyoto considers every string as UTF-8: either use UTF-8 or stay with ASCII. This means "µ" can be used for "micro" and powers can be noted as superscripts: m³, pix².
In addition to the stock units known by udunits2, Gyoto registers the following (which may be used in any context): Jansky (symbol Jy), symbol "pc" for parsec, "sunradius", "sunmass", symbol "as" for "arcsec".
Other units are context-sensitive: "geometrical" allows converting between geometrical units and other legnth units, but only when a Metric is defined, and may not be used (yet) in compound units. Likewise, "geometrical_time" can be used as duration unit whenever a Metric is defined, but not in a compound unit.
When a Screen is defined, "pix" can be used as an angle unit (you need to call Screen::mapPixUnit() and Screen::unmapScreenUnit(), which is done automatically in certain contexts).
Units can often be specified using the "unit" XML attribute:
Units for output quantities are specified after the name of the quantity, in squared brackets, e.g.:
