**** Update *****
Fist steps in rewriting an old metric prefix illustration so it can run without the java plugin.
This version contains a table showing the relationship between metric prefixes used to represent values ranging from 1x10-18 to 1x1018 and the first few selectors needed for the planned interactivity.
Status:
- Three selectors: base unit, starting prefix and target prefix are present and functioning
- There is a table along the left side of the illustration providing information about metric prefixes from 1x10-18 (atto) to 1x1018 (exa).
- The illustration loads with
- base value of 10
- starting prefix of kilo
- target prefix of micro (µ)
- Using the loaded parameters the central equation shows the conversion of 10 kg to 1x1010 µg
- Currently there is no way to change the value from 10, but the equation does update if any of the three selectors are changed.
- Continue to fill out the pieces of the illustration
- Add an input box so the value (currently locked at 10) can be changed.
- modify the layout of the equation in the center so that the conversion calculations can be shown.
