units

Library allowing to manipulate different kinds of web units.

length units
angle units
rgba & hsla colors

(I extracted this library from cljss thus the lack of more general units.)

Installation

In project.clj:

[jeremys/units "0.2.2"]

Usage

Lengths & angles

Roughly this library let's you write code like with lengths and angles:

(ns my.ns
  (:require [clojure.algo.generic.arithmetic :as agen]
            [clojure.algo.generic.comparison :as cgen])
  (:use units.lenght))

(def l1 (agen/+ (px 10) (mm 25)))
(def l2 (agen/- (agen/* 3 (in 1)) (cm 1)))

l1 ;=> (mm 27.645833333333332)
l2 ;=> (mm 6.62)

(px l1) ;=> (px 104.48818897637796)
(px l2) ;=> (px 250.2047244094488)

(cgen/< l1 l2) ;=> true

The same operations are available for angle units.angle at the difference that angle mesures are automatically bound in an interval. For instance:

(use units.angle)

(deg 380) ;=> (deg 20)

Changelog

0.2.2

ADDED: Support for using rgba hexa notations of colors.

0.2.1

ADDED: Support of pretty much every unit type specified in css3.
ADDED: functions red blue... can now generate a new color when used with 2 args.

0.2.0

ADDED: conversions are now supported
ADDED: generic comparison is now supported
ADDED: arithmetic between different unit types are now possible if the types are compatibles.
ADDED: what holds for arithmetic holds for comparisons too.

Todo

Convert string -> color (rgba string -> color)
Rethink the arithmetic of the numbers contained in the different types
- convert everything to floats ?
- use ratios then to float at the last moment?
- round at certain decimal ?
use defined types for the colors (deg, % for hsla) ?
