Method Detail

tab

public static void tab(StringBuffer sbuff,
                       int tabStop,
                       boolean alwaysOne)

Blank fill sbuff with blanks, until position tabStop.

Parameters:

sbuff - StringBuffer to manipulate

tabStop - pad out to here

alwaysOne - true if you want to guarentee at least one space.

tab

public static void tab(StringBuilder sbuff,
                       int tabStop,
                       boolean alwaysOne)

Blank fill sbuff with blanks, until position tabStop.

Parameters:

sbuff - StringBuilder to manipulate

tabStop - pad out to here

alwaysOne - true if you want to guarentee at least one space.

s

public static String s(String s,
                       int width)

Create a new string by padding the existing one with blanks to specified width. Do nothing if length is already greater or equal to width.

Parameters:

s - string to pad

width - length of return string

Returns:

padded string

pad

public static String pad(String s,
                         int width,
                         boolean rightJustify)

Create a new string by padding the existing one with blanks to specified width. Do nothing if length is already greater or equal to width.

Parameters:

s - string to pad

width - length of return string

rightJustify - if true, right justify, else left justify

Returns:

padded string

i

public static String i(int v,
                       int width)

Format an integer value.

Parameters:

v - : value

width - pad to this width

Returns:

formatted string

l

public static String l(long v,
                       int width)

Format a long value.

Parameters:

v - : value

width - pad to this width

Returns:

formatted string

d

public static String d(double d,
                       int min_sigfig)

Double value formatting with minimum number of significant figures in a minimum width. This will try to do a reasonable job of getting a representation that has min_sigfig significant figures in minimum width.

Parameters:

d - the number to format.

min_sigfig - minimum number of significant figures

Returns:

string representation

d

public static String d(double d,
                       int min_sigfig,
                       int width)

Double value formatting with minimum number of significant figures in a specified width. This will try to do a reasonable job of getting a representation that has min_sigfig significant figures in the specified width. Right now, all it does is call d( double d, int min_sigfig) and left pad out to width chars.

Parameters:

d - the number to format.

min_sigfig - minimum number of significant figures

width - width of the result

Returns:

string representation, right justified in field of specified width

dfrac

public static String dfrac(double d,
                           int fixed_decimals)

Double value formatting with fixed number of digits to the right of the decimal point.

Parameters:

d - the number to format.

fixed_decimals - number of digits to the right of the decimal point

Returns:

string representation, with specified number of decimal places

formatDouble

public static String formatDouble(double d,
                                  int min_sigFigs,
                                  int fixed_decimals)

Format a double value

Parameters:

d - value to format

min_sigFigs - minimum significant figures

fixed_decimals - number of fixed decimals

Returns:

double formatted as a string

formatByteSize

public static String formatByteSize(double size)

Nicely formatted representation of bytes, eg turn 5.636E7 into '56.3 Mbytes'.

Parameters:

size - the size in bytes

Returns:

formatted string
