Letters and Function Styles

Greek Letter Conversion

UzonCalc renders common Greek letter names as symbols. For example, alpha, beta, gamma, and delta are displayed as Greek letters.

Names starting with a lowercase letter are rendered as lowercase Greek letters. Names starting with an uppercase letter are rendered as uppercase Greek letters:

rho_water = 1000 * unit.kilogram / unit.meter**3
gamma_0 = 9.81 * unit.meter / unit.second**2

If you do not want a name to be converted, escape it with a backslash.

Square Root

sqrt(x) is rendered with square-root notation:

edge1 = 3 * unit.meter
edge2 = 4 * unit.meter
diagonal = sqrt(edge1**2 + edge2**2)

Absolute Value

abs(x) is rendered as an absolute value:

value = -15 * unit.newton
abs_value = abs(value)

Escaping Text

Variable names, Greek letter names, and underscore rules affect formula rendering. Use a backslash when you need to keep the original characters, for example \alpha.
