By setting the DataOutBase::VtkFlags::physical_units +variable and attaching such a flags object to a DataOut, +Particles::DataOut, or MatrixOut object, one can now specify the +physical units associated with variables that are written into VTU +files, so that they can be parsed by scripts that do further +postprocessing. +
