I'm reporting some time data (but I might also want to report, say, memory use, so this isn't only time-related), and I'd like to scale the output, and change the units, as a "appropriate". By "appropriate", I guess I mean something like scientific notation, but replacing the exponent part with an adjusted SI prefix for my unit. (And I guess I might want to use days/hours/minutes and the like for high time values -- at least as an option.) Now, it's easy enough to whip up a function like that, but I thought I'd check if there is some obvious functionality somewhere that'll let me do it? The SIUnits package looks promising, but only normalizes the units, it seems? (Also, I get lots of warnings when I try to import it -- but I guess that's a temporary issue.) If nothing else, it has the prefix factors pre-defined :)
Any suggestions?
