I will see what Enrico thinks here |
The I'm not sure, however, about how to integrate it with |
Would you say Steinmetz notation is a form of polar output, or an entirely independent format? Working out where the right options live. |
I would say that, basically, that is a form of polar output, yes, with or without a unit. It's quite common to write "I = 30∠30° mA", or also "I = 30 ∠π/6 mA", etc. etc. It's a bit complex here, because you can have a quantity with two different units for the main value and for the angle... (although the angle is in degrees or radian, I never saw anything different). |
@Rmano Would you please add a few printed examples? |
I'll try to see if I can find some. We use here quite extensively, but being my field electronics, not electricity, I tend not to use that notation... If I find something I'll post it here. |
I wish to be able to typeset polar complex numbers in the style given by the
steinmetz
package, but unfortunatelycomplex-symbol-angle = \phase
does not work. I would appreciate it if the internal code could be changed for this to work, or alternatively another key be added explicitly for wrapping the phase component of polar complex numbers in an arbitrary macro.Ideally, a new function could be created within
siunitx
to match this style of typesetting, adding options to better match font and scale in a smarter way than blindly enclosing the bounding box. This would likely take considerably more effort to implement, however, so I understand if contributor motivation isn't there for it.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
