class TRealFormat |
Defines the character representation of a real number type such as a TReal or a TRealX.
An object of this type is used by functions that convert real values to character format, for example, the descriptor functions: Num(), AppendNum() and Format().
There are three constructors for constructing a suitable object. The data members of the class, however, are public and can be explicitly set after construction.

Defines either the number of characters to be used to represent the decimal portion of the number, or the maximum number of significant digits in the character representation of the number.
The interpretation depends on the chosen format as defined by iType.
TChar | iPoint |
Defines the character to be used to separate the integer portion of a number representation from its decimal portion.
In general, the character used for this purpose is a matter of local convention. The TLocale::DecimalSeparator() function can supply the desired character.
TInt | iTriLen |
Defines the threshold number of digits above which triad separation is to occur. A value of zero disables triad separation and no triad separation character (i.e. the character held in iTriad) is inserted into the resulting character representation regardless of the number of characters.
For example, a value of 1 causes the number 1000 to be represented by the characters "1,000" whereas a value of 4 causes the same number to be represented by the characters "1000" (This assumes the , triad separation character).
Note that no triad separation occurs if the flag KDoNotUseTriads is set in the iType data member.
TChar | iTriad |
Defines the character to be used to delimit groups of three digits in the integer part of the number.
In general, the character used for this purpose is a matter of local convention. The TLocale::ThousandsSeparator() function can supply the desired character.
TInt | iType |
Governs the format of the character representation of the real number.
This is set to one of the defined format types.
One or more of the defined format flags can subsequently be ORed into this member.
