Units in plots? #266

Hi! Yes, you can do that in a simple way. For example, you can add a title: "Beam deflections d, mm" or label: "d, mm". You can also specify the units you want to calculate the function d(x), like this:
If you want to define d in mm, but plot it in m, just convert inside the plot function:

You can also specify the units you want to calculate the function d(x), like this:
d(x) = .... |mmIf you want to define d in mm, but plot it in m, just convert inside the plot function:
$Plot{d(x)*m/mm @ x = 0m : L}
