Hello,
Just wondered what the correct way is to display physical units on chart axes.
Let's say for example thermal resistance of a heatsink extrusion is plotted as a function of length, and so the units for the y-axis are K.W-1
My 'A' Level physics teacher always insisted on (in order that the axes was dimensionless):-
/K.W-1
My previous boss insisted on round brackets
(K.W-1)
and I've seen square brackets in some scientific computing applications
[K.W-1]
Whats the consensus?
Thanks people.
