This is the interface used to
build a
Justification from a
String. It
therefore expects the following format:
«filler»«alignment»«width»[«mode»]
The segments have the following meaning:
| segment |
pattern |
meaning |
«filler» |
. |
character used to fill up with |
«alignment» |
[+-~] |
align to the right(+), left(-) or centered(~) |
«with» |
[0-9]+ |
if the length of the string to justify is less than this
width, the string will be expanded using the filler according to the alignment. |
«mode» |
[|] |
if the mode is truncate(|) then the string will be truncated if its length is greater than «with» so the result
will always have the length of «with». Please note that truncate can remove valuable information or cause wrong
results (e.g. "10000" with a justification of " +3|" will result in "100"). |
