Converter

The function unitConverter() starts a shiny app in the RStudio Viewer pane that allows users to convert between units of the same dimension as illustrated in the video below.

Bridging Dimensions with Molecular Weight

So far, the following dimensions can be bridged by Molecular Weight:

  • Amount and Mass
  • Concentration (mass) and Concentration (molar)
  • AUC (mass) and AUC (molar)

When selecting one of these dimensions, users are notified by the app that conversion to the bridged dimension is supported.

The Molecular Weight and its Unit defined by the user will be taken into account if converting to the bridged dimension.

Fractions

For the Fraction dimension, the unit named Unitless is defined as such in the enum ospUnits and corresponds to the fraction as is.

If users need to convert between fractions, they should currently provide the unit "" instead of "Unitless".
