xorbits.numpy.format_float_positional#
- xorbits.numpy.format_float_positional(x, precision=None, unique=True, fractional=True, trim='k', sign=False, pad_left=None, pad_right=None, min_digits=None)#
Format a floating-point scalar as a decimal string in positional notation.
Provides control over rounding, trimming and padding. Uses and assumes IEEE unbiased rounding. Uses the “Dragon4” algorithm.
- Parameters
x (python float or numpy floating scalar) – Value to format.
precision (non-negative integer or None, optional) – Maximum number of digits to print. May be None if unique is True, but must be an integer if unique is False.
unique (boolean, optional) – If True, use a digit-generation strategy which gives the shortest representation which uniquely identifies the floating-point number from other values of the same type, by judicious rounding. If precision is given fewer digits than necessary can be printed, or if min_digits is given more can be printed, in which cases the last digit is rounded with unbiased rounding. If False, digits are generated as if printing an infinite-precision value and stopping after precision digits, rounding the remaining value with unbiased rounding
fractional (boolean, optional) – If True, the cutoffs of precision and min_digits refer to the total number of digits after the decimal point, including leading zeros. If False, precision and min_digits refer to the total number of significant digits, before or after the decimal point, ignoring leading zeros.
trim (one of 'k', '.', '0', '-', optional) –
Controls post-processing trimming of trailing digits, as follows:
’k’ : keep trailing zeros, keep decimal point (no trimming)
’.’ : trim all trailing zeros, leave decimal point
’0’ : trim all but the zero before the decimal point. Insert the zero if it is missing.
’-’ : trim trailing zeros and any trailing decimal point
sign (boolean, optional) – Whether to show the sign for positive values.
pad_left (non-negative integer, optional) – Pad the left side of the string with whitespace until at least that many characters are to the left of the decimal point.
pad_right (non-negative integer, optional) – Pad the right side of the string with whitespace until at least that many characters are to the right of the decimal point.
min_digits (non-negative integer or None, optional) –
Minimum number of digits to print. Only has an effect if unique=True in which case additional digits past those necessary to uniquely identify the value may be printed, rounding the last additional digit.
