latex_units(units, /, *, long_form=None)[source]¶

Fussily the format unit string or pint.Unit object into TeX-compatible form suitable for (e.g.) matplotlib figure text. Includes the following features:

Raises component units to negative exponents instead of using fractions.
Disables alphabetical sorting of component units to retain logical grouping.
Separates component units with the 3-mu \, seperator.
Uses long form for units in long_form (default is ('day', 'month', 'year'), short form otherwise. Long form units in numerator are written in plural.
Parses units on either side of the first slash independently. For example, the sensitivity parameter K / (W m^-2) is formatted as K / W m^-2.
