get_dimensions function

(Shortest import: from brian2 import get_dimensions)

brian2.units.fundamentalunits.get_dimensions(obj)

Return the dimensions of any object that has them.

Slightly more general than Quantity.dimensions because it will return DIMENSIONLESS if the object is of number type but not a Quantity (e.g. a float or int).

Parameters

obj : object

The object to check.

Returns

dim : Dimension

The physical dimensions of the obj.
