label values with units #96

Closed pixelzoom closed 4 years ago

Something I noticed while looking at #93....

Many of the values displayed have units next to them. For example:

screenshot_392 screenshot_393 screenshot_395

Then there's this panel:

screenshot_396

If it were me, I'd put the units next to the values in this panel too, instead of next to the column headings. You have the space, and I think it would make the display read easier. It would also clean up the column headings, so that some of them wouldn't need to be 2 lines.

@pixelzoom keep in mind that in the "Explore 2D" screen there are more fields to this panel: image

We may not have enough room for units (especially since the units for momentum are really long) and the panel could extend into the Momenta Diagram.

From design meeting 6/25/20, we decided that we didn't have enough room for units and we were fine leaving it as-is. Closing.
