Max significant numbers formating

[Benoss]

Looking at the doc I can't find a way to fix the number of significant numbers. This is very useful when you are showing numbers in a fixed width container

For example if I want only 3 significant numbers:

• 12345678=> 12.3m
• 1234567=> 1.23m
• 123456 => 123k
• 12345 => 12.3k
• 1234 => 1.23k
• 123 => 123
• 12.3 => 12.3
• 1.23 => 1.23
• 0.123 => 0.12
• 0.0123 => 0.01

format string could be "3a" for this example

You can use this format 00000 a by example, to fix the significant number to 5

But surprisingly enough, it doesn't work for a number of 0 lesser than 4 😕

I will investigate 😄

Fix proposed 😄

I will also improve documentation in a separate issue #56

In numbro 1.3.0

Thanks for the fix but I still don't get it for a precision of 2 and 3
In the doc:
1234567891 '2a' 1b
1234567891 '3a' 1b

should 3a be 1.23b
and 2a be 1.2b ?

[BenjaminVanRyseghem]

Yep, I noticed this.

I will have to investigate this

Let's open a new ticket 😄
