Class VectorFormat<S extends Space>

java.lang.Object

org.apache.commons.math3.geometry.VectorFormat<S>

Type Parameters:

S - Type of the space.

Direct Known Subclasses:

Vector1DFormat, Vector2DFormat, Vector3DFormat

public abstract class VectorFormat<S extends Space>
extends Object

Formats a vector in components list format "{x; y; ...}".

The prefix and suffix "{" and "}" and the separator "; " can be replaced by any user-defined strings. The number format for components can be configured.

White space is ignored at parse time, even if it is in the prefix, suffix or separator specifications. So even if the default separator does include a space character that is used at format time, both input string "{1;1;1}" and " { 1 ; 1 ; 1 } " will be parsed without error and the same vector will be returned. In the second case, however, the parse position after parsing will be just after the closing curly brace, i.e. just before the trailing space.

Note: using "," as a separator may interfere with the grouping separator of the default NumberFormat for the current locale. Thus it is advised to use a NumberFormat instance with disabled grouping in such a case.

Method Detail

getAvailableLocales

public static Locale[] getAvailableLocales()

Get the set of locales for which point/vector formats are available.

This is the same set as the NumberFormat set.

Returns:

available point/vector format locales.

getPrefix

public String getPrefix()

Get the format prefix.

Returns:

format prefix.

getSuffix

public String getSuffix()

Get the format suffix.

Returns:

format suffix.

getSeparator

public String getSeparator()

Get the format separator between components.

Returns:

format separator.

getFormat

public NumberFormat getFormat()

Get the components format.

Returns:

components format.

format

public String format(Vector<S> vector)

Formats a Vector object to produce a string.

Parameters:

vector - the object to format.

Returns:

a formatted string.

format

public abstract StringBuffer format(Vector<S> vector,
                                    StringBuffer toAppendTo,
                                    FieldPosition pos)

Formats a Vector object to produce a string.

Parameters:

vector - 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.

parse

public abstract Vector<S> parse(String source)
                         throws MathParseException

Parses a string to produce a Vector object.

Parameters:

source - the string to parse

Returns:

the parsed Vector object.

Throws:

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

parse

public abstract Vector<S> parse(String source,
                                ParsePosition pos)

Parses a string to produce a Vector object.

Parameters:

source - the string to parse

pos - input/output parsing parameter.

Returns:

the parsed Vector object.
