convert_prefix: Convert between metric prefixes.

In bioset: Convert a Matrix of Raw Values into Nice and Tidy Data

Description

A convenience wrapper around calc_factor_prefix().

Usage

convert_prefix(x, from, to)

Arguments

x	The value to convert.
from	A string containing the prefixed unit A.
to	A string containing the prefixed unit B.

Details

Convert, e.g. "kg" to "µg". You can convert ".g", ".l", ".mol", ".m^3" (cubic metres), where "." symbolizes a metric prefix:

For g, l and mol: d (deci), c (centi), m (milli), µ (micro), n (nano), p (pico) and f (femto).

For g you might use k (kilo) as well.

For m^3 (cubic metres) you may only use: d (deci), c (centi) and m (milli).

Value

The converted value.
