Available since: 3.0
Functions
gimp_unit_get_number_of_built_in_units
Returns the number of GimpUnit
‘s which are hardcoded in the unit system
(UNIT_INCH, UNIT_MM, UNIT_POINT, UNIT_PICA and the two “pseudo unit” UNIT_PIXEL).

gimp_unit_get_number_of_units
Returns the number of units which are known to the GimpUnit
system.

Instance methods

For built-in units, this function returns the translated abbreviation of the unit.
unstable since: 3.0
gimp_unit_get_digits
Returns the number of digits set for unit
.
Built-in units’ accuracy is approximately the same as an inch with
two digits. User-defined units can suggest a different accuracy.
unstable since: 3.0

unstable since: 3.0
gimp_unit_get_scaled_digits
Returns the number of digits a unit
field should provide to get
enough accuracy so that every pixel position shows a different
value from neighboring pixels.
unstable since: 3.0
gimp_unit_get_singular
For built-in units, this function returns the translated singular form of the unit’s name.
unstable since: 3.0
gimp_unit_is_metric
Checks if the given unit
is metric. A simplistic test is used
that looks at the unit’s factor and checks if it is 2.54 multiplied
by some common powers of 10. Currently it checks for mm, cm, dm, m.
