Constructor Detail

FractionFormat

public FractionFormat()

Create an improper formatting instance with the default number format for the numerator and denominator.

FractionFormat

public FractionFormat(NumberFormat format)

Create an improper formatting instance with a custom number format for both the numerator and denominator.

Parameters:

format - the custom format for both the numerator and denominator.

FractionFormat

public FractionFormat(NumberFormat numeratorFormat,
                      NumberFormat denominatorFormat)

Create an improper formatting instance with a custom number format for the numerator and a custom number format for the denominator.

Parameters:

numeratorFormat - the custom format for the numerator.

denominatorFormat - the custom format for the denominator.

Method Detail

getAvailableLocales

public static Locale[] getAvailableLocales()

Get the set of locales for which complex formats are available. This is the same set as the NumberFormat set.

Returns:

available complex format locales.

formatFraction

public static String formatFraction(Fraction f)

This static method calls formatFraction() on a default instance of FractionFormat.

Parameters:

f - Fraction object to format

Returns:

a formatted fraction in proper form.

getImproperInstance

public static FractionFormat getImproperInstance()

Returns the default complex format for the current locale.

Returns:

the default complex format.

getImproperInstance

public static FractionFormat getImproperInstance(Locale locale)

Returns the default complex format for the given locale.

Parameters:

locale - the specific locale used by the format.

Returns:

the complex format specific to the given locale.

getProperInstance

public static FractionFormat getProperInstance()

Returns the default complex format for the current locale.

Returns:

the default complex format.

getProperInstance

public static FractionFormat getProperInstance(Locale locale)

Returns the default complex format for the given locale.

Parameters:

locale - the specific locale used by the format.

Returns:

the complex format specific to the given locale.

getDefaultNumberFormat

protected static NumberFormat getDefaultNumberFormat()

Create a default number format. The default number format is based on NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(java.util.Locale) with the only customizing is the maximum number of fraction digits, which is set to 0.

Returns:

the default number format.

format

public StringBuffer format(Fraction fraction,
                           StringBuffer toAppendTo,
                           FieldPosition pos)

Formats a Fraction object to produce a string. The fraction is output in improper format.

Parameters:

fraction - the object to format.

toAppendTo - where the text is to be appended

pos - On input: an alignment field, if desired. On output: the offsets of the alignment field

Returns:

the value passed in as toAppendTo.

format

public StringBuffer format(Object obj,
                           StringBuffer toAppendTo,
                           FieldPosition pos)
                    throws FractionConversionException,
                           MathIllegalArgumentException

Formats an object and appends the result to a StringBuffer. obj must be either a Fraction object or a Number object. Any other type of object will result in an IllegalArgumentException being thrown.

Overrides:

format in class NumberFormat

Parameters:

obj - the object to format.

toAppendTo - where the text is to be appended

pos - On input: an alignment field, if desired. On output: the offsets of the alignment field

Returns:

the value passed in as toAppendTo.

Throws:

FractionConversionException - if the number cannot be converted to a fraction

MathIllegalArgumentException - if obj is not a valid type.

parse

public Fraction parse(String source)
               throws MathParseException

Parses a string to produce a Fraction object.

Overrides:

parse in class NumberFormat

Parameters:

source - the string to parse

Returns:

the parsed Fraction object.

Throws:

MathParseException - if the beginning of the specified string cannot be parsed.

parse

public Fraction parse(String source,
                      ParsePosition pos)

Parses a string to produce a Fraction object. This method expects the string to be formatted as an improper fraction.

Specified by:

parse in class NumberFormat

Parameters:

source - the string to parse

pos - input/output parsing parameter.

Returns:

the parsed Fraction object.
