Register degreeC (= °C = ºC = degC =celsius) in the units registry #1033

Closed cpascual closed 4 years ago

cpascual commented 4 years ago

Make celsius display as "°C" in taurus. Do it by registering a new unit (degreeC) equivalent to degC in taurus.core.units.UR This is a workaround until pint properly supports this. See: https://github.com/hgrecco/pint/issues/546

@sergirubio : you are probably interested in this.

Note, until this is merged, you can simply do the following workaround in your code:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from taurus.core.units import UR
UR.define(u'degreeC = kelvin; offset: 273.15  = °C = ºC = degC = celsius')

Thanks @cpascual, I was just looking for this, you saved me a lot of time.

Hi, I just noticed that TaurusForm does not behave well with unicode characters in the units in python2. (it works well in py3)

b17df86 should fix it

Tip: when defining the unit for an attribute in Tango (e.g. via jive) some clients may not deal well with unicode. In such case, use "celsius" or "degC" as the unit and Taurus will display it as °C
