Syntax question

[scheenstra]

hi, i'm trying to use the command g.drawSring to post the value of a variable of type double to an applet screen. i'm wondering if anyone knows a way to tell it to only go two places after the decimal point. any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Ok, you need to use a numberformatter...

NumberFormat NF = NumberFormat.getInstance();

Now you have to customize NF...

NF.setMaximumFractionDigits (2);
NF.setMinimumFractionDigits (2);

Now you can use it as such...

g.drawString(NF.format(myNumber));

Remember to include java.text.*;

you can also use NumberFormat.getNumberInstance
NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance
NumberFormat.getPercentInstance
