        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.

        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.

        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.
