Class Vector2DFormat


  • public class Vector2DFormat
    extends VectorFormat<Euclidean2D>
    Formats a 2D 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}" and " { 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.

      • Vector2DFormat

        public Vector2DFormat()
        Create an instance with default settings.

        The instance uses the default prefix, suffix and separator: "{", "}", and "; " and the default number format for components.

      • Vector2DFormat

        public Vector2DFormat​(NumberFormat format)
        Create an instance with a custom number format for components.
        Parameters:
        format - the custom format for components.
      • Vector2DFormat

        public Vector2DFormat​(String prefix,
                              String suffix,
                              String separator)
        Create an instance with custom prefix, suffix and separator.
        Parameters:
        prefix - prefix to use instead of the default "{"
        suffix - suffix to use instead of the default "}"
        separator - separator to use instead of the default "; "

                              NumberFormat format)
        Create an instance with custom prefix, suffix, separator and format for components.
        Parameters:
        prefix - prefix to use instead of the default "{"
