All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable

public class Vector3DFormat
extends CompositeFormat

Formats a 3D vector in components list format "{x; y; z}".

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.

Constructor Detail

Vector3DFormat

public Vector3DFormat()

Create an instance with default settings.

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

Vector3DFormat

public Vector3DFormat(NumberFormat format)

Create an instance with a custom number format for components.

Parameters:

format - the custom format for components.

Vector3DFormat

public Vector3DFormat(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 "; "

Vector3DFormat

public Vector3DFormat(String prefix,
                      String suffix,
                      String separator,
                      NumberFormat format)

Create an instance with custom prefix, suffix, separator and format for components.

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 "; "

format - the custom format for components.

Method Detail

getAvailableLocales

public static Locale[] getAvailableLocales()

Get the set of locales for which 3D vectors formats are available.

This is the same set as the NumberFormat set.

Returns:

available 3D 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 Vector3DFormat getInstance()

Returns the default 3D vector format for the current locale.

Returns:

the default 3D vector format.

getInstance

public static Vector3DFormat getInstance(Locale locale)

Returns the default 3D vector format for the given locale.

Parameters:

locale - the specific locale used by the format.

Returns:

the 3D vector format specific to the given locale.

formatVector3D

public static String formatVector3D(Vector3D v)

This static method calls Format.format(Object) on a default instance of Vector3DFormat.

Parameters:

v - Vector3D object to format

Returns:

A formatted vector

format

public StringBuffer format(Vector3D vector,
                           StringBuffer toAppendTo,
                           FieldPosition pos)

Formats a Vector3D 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 Vector3D 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.
