Class RealMatrixFormat


  • public class RealMatrixFormat
    extends Object
    Formats a nxm matrix in components list format "{{a00,a01, ..., a0m-1},{a10, a11, ..., a1m-1},{...},{ an-10, an-11, ..., an-1m-1}}".

    The prefix and suffix "{" and "}", the row prefix and suffix "{" and "}", the row separator "," and the column 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 matrix 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: the grouping functionality of the used NumberFormat is disabled to prevent problems when parsing (e.g. 1,345.34 would be a valid number but conflicts with the default column separator).

      • RealMatrixFormat

        public RealMatrixFormat()
        Create an instance with default settings.

        The instance uses the default prefix, suffix and row/column separator: "[", "]", ";" and ", " and the default number format for components.

      • RealMatrixFormat

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

                                String columnSeparator)
        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 "}"
        rowPrefix - row prefix to use instead of the default "{"
        rowSuffix - row suffix to use instead of the default "}"
        rowSeparator - tow separator to use instead of the default ";"
        columnSeparator - column separator to use instead of the default ", "
