| Description |
There are a few other unit conversion functions out there, but most are structured in a rather unwieldy format and require the use of extended switch...case blocks. This one uses a very simple structured array table to convert between any set of units that differ by a multiplicative offset and/or an additive factor.
The code is extremely lightweight, and fully vectorized.
The user must specify the input units and, optionally, the output units. If no output units are specified, than SI units are output (using degrees Celsius for temperature).
Only a limited set of conversions are included, but adding new ones should be fairly trivial. I encourage anyone who has questions, comments, or additions to write me at kendal30 [at] yahoo [dot] com. |

I have added a new group of units to the function.
Also, I wrote the function to be able to handle any combination of cell, numeric, and structured arrays (i.e. nested versions of cell/structured arrays). |
