Class ComplexFormat

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Cloneable

    public class ComplexFormat
    extends CompositeFormat
    Formats a Complex number in cartesian format "Re(c) + Im(c)i". 'i' can be replaced with 'j' (or anything else), and the number format for both real and imaginary parts can be configured.
