Turn numbers into strings with aligned decimal points
Formats decimal numbers as strings with aligned decimal points.
decimal.align(x,dechar=".",nint=NA,ndec=NA,pad.left=TRUE)
x |
One or more decimal numbers. |
dechar |
The character used to separate the decimal part of a number. |
nint |
The number of characters to which the integer part of the numbers should be padded. |
ndec |
The number of characters to which the decimal part of the numbers should be padded. |
pad.left |
Whether the left (integer) side of the numbers should be padded as well as the right. |
decimal.align splits the incoming numbers at the decimal point and pads the decimal part and optionally the integer part so that when the numbers are displayed in a monospaced font the decimal points will be aligned. Note that if an integer or a decimal part without an integer is passed, the function will insert a zero for the missing part.
This is useful for displaying or storing aligned columns of decimal numbers when the user does not want to pad the decimal part with zeros as in the format function.
The original numbers as strings, padded with spaces.
