Classes:

`Unit`([x])	Represents a unit, such as a point.
`UnitInch`([x])	Inch.
`Unitcm`([x])	Centimetres.
`Unitmm`([x])	Millimetres.
`Unitpc`([x])	Pica.
`Unitpt`([x])	Point.
`Unitum`([x])	Micrometres.

Data:

`cm`([value])	Centimetre

class Unit(x=0, /)[source]

Bases: float

Represents a unit, such as a point.

Behaves much like a float (which it inherits from).

Addition

Units can be added to each other:

>>> (3*mm) + (7*mm)
<Unit '10.000 mm': 28.346pt>

When adding different Unit objects, the result has the type of the former unit:

>>> (2.54*cm) + inch
<Unit '5.080 cm': 144.000pt>
>>> inch + (2.54*cm)
<Unit '2.000 inch': 144.000pt>

Unit objects can also be added to float and int objects:

>>> (3*cm) + 7
<Unit '10.000 cm': 283.465pt>
>>> 7 + (3*cm)
<Unit '10.000 cm': 283.465pt>

Subtraction

Subtraction works the same as addition:

>>> (17*mm) - (7*mm)
<Unit '10.000 mm': 28.346pt>
>>> (2.54*cm) - inch
<Unit '0.000 cm': 0.000pt>
>>> inch - (2.54*cm)
<Unit '0.000 inch': 0.000pt>
>>> (17*cm) - 7
<Unit '10.000 cm': 283.465pt>
>>> 17 - (7*cm)
<Unit '10.000 cm': 283.465pt>

Multiplication

Unit objects can only be multipled by float and int objects:

>>> (3*mm) * 3
<Unit '9.000 mm': 25.512pt>
>>> 3 * (3*mm)
<Unit '9.000 mm': 25.512pt>
>>> 3.5 * (3*mm)
<Unit '10.500 mm': 29.764pt>

Multiplication works either way round.

Multiplying by another Unit results in a NotImplementedError:

>>> inch * (7*cm)
Traceback (most recent call last):
NotImplementedError: Multiplying a unit by another unit is not allowed.

Division

Units can only be divided by float and int objects:

>>> (3*mm) / 3
<Unit '1.000 mm': 2.835pt>
>>> (10*mm) / 2.5
<Unit '4.000 mm': 11.339pt>

Dividing by another unit results in a NotImplementedError:

>>> inch / (7*cm)
Traceback (most recent call last):
NotImplementedError: Dividing a unit by another unit is not allowed.

Likewise, trying to divide a:class:float and int object by a unit results in a NotImplementedError:

>>> 3 / (3*mm)
Traceback (most recent call last):
NotImplementedError: Dividing by a unit is not allowed.

Powers

Powers (using **) are not officially supported.

Modulo Division

Modulo division of a Unit by a float or int object is allowed:

>>> (3*mm) % 2.5
<Unit '0.500 mm': 1.417pt>

Dividing by a unit, or modulo division of two units, is not officially supported.
