Class RealVectorFormat

java.lang.Object
java.text.Format
org.apache.commons.math.util.CompositeFormat
org.apache.commons.math.linear.RealVectorFormat
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Cloneable

public class RealVectorFormat extends CompositeFormat
Formats a vector in components list format "{v0; v1; ...; vk-1}".

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.

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

    • RealVectorFormat

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

      public RealVectorFormat(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 "; "

      Parameters:
      prefix - prefix to use instead of the default "{"

    • getAvailableLocales

      public static Locale[] getAvailableLocales()
      Get the set of locales for which real vectors formats are available.

      This is the same set as the NumberFormat set.

      Returns:
      available real 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.
    • getInstance

      public static RealVectorFormat getInstance()
      Returns the default real vector format for the current locale.
      Returns:
      the default real vector format.
    • getInstance

      public static RealVectorFormat getInstance(Locale locale)
      Returns the default real vector format for the given locale.
      Parameters:
      locale - the specific locale used by the format.
      Returns:
      the real vector format specific to the given locale.
    • formatRealVector

      public static String formatRealVector(RealVector v)
      This static method calls Format.format(Object) on a default instance of RealVectorFormat.
      Parameters:
      v - RealVector object to format
      Returns:
      A formatted vector
    • format

      public StringBuffer format(RealVector vector, StringBuffer toAppendTo, FieldPosition pos)
      Formats a RealVector 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.
    • format

      public StringBuffer format(Object obj, StringBuffer toAppendTo, FieldPosition pos)
      Formats a object to produce a string.

      obj must be a RealVector object. Any other type of object will result in an IllegalArgumentException being thrown.

      Specified by:
      format in class Format
      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:
      IllegalArgumentException - is obj is not a valid type.
