| 31 | + * The <tt>Formattable</tt> interface must be implemented by any class that | |
| 32 | + * needs to perform custom formatting using the <tt>'s'</tt> conversion | |
| 33 | + * specifier of {@link java.util.Formatter}. This interface allows basic | |
| 34 | + * control for formatting arbitrary objects. | |
| 35 | + * | |
| 36 | + * For example, the following class prints out different representations of a | |
| 37 | + * stock's name depending on the flags and length constraints: | |
| 38 | + * | |
| 39 | + * <blockquote><pre> | |

| 92 | + * </pre></blockquote> | |
| 93 | + * | |
| 94 | + * <p> When used in conjunction with the {@link java.util.Formatter}, the above | |
| 95 | + * class produces the following output for various format strings. | |
| 96 | + * | |
| 97 | + * <blockquote><pre> | |
| 98 | + * Formatter fmt = new Formatter(); | |
| 99 | + * StockName sn = new StockName("HUGE", "Huge Fruit, Inc.", | |
| 100 | + * "Fruit Titanesque, Inc."); | |
| 101 | + * fmt.format("%s", sn); // -> "Huge Fruit, Inc." | |
| 102 | + * fmt.format("%s", sn.toString()); // -> "HUGE - Huge Fruit, Inc." | |
| 103 | + * fmt.format("%#s", sn); // -> "HUGE" | |
| 104 | + * fmt.format("%-10.8s", sn); // -> "HUGE " | |
| 105 | + * fmt.format("%.12s", sn); // -> "Huge Fruit,*" | |
| 106 | + * fmt.format(Locale.FRANCE, "%25s", sn); // -> " Fruit Titanesque, Inc." | |
| 107 | + * </pre></blockquote> | |
| 108 | + * | |
| 109 | + * <p> Formattables are not necessarily safe for multithreaded access. Thread | |
| 110 | + * safety is optional and may be enforced by classes that extend and implement | |
| 111 | + * this interface. | |
| 112 | + * | |
| 113 | + * <p> Unless otherwise specified, passing a <tt>null</tt> argument to | |
| 114 | + * any method in this interface will cause a {@link | |
| 115 | + * NullPointerException} to be thrown. | |

| 124 | + * @param formatter | |
| 125 | + * The {@link Formatter formatter}. Implementing classes may call | |
| 126 | + * {@link Formatter#out() formatter.out()} or {@link | |
| 127 | + * Formatter#locale() formatter.locale()} to obtain the {@link | |
| 128 | + * Appendable} or {@link Locale} used by this | |
| 129 | + * <tt>formatter</tt> respectively. | |
| 130 | + * | |
| 131 | + * @param flags | |
| 132 | + * The flags modify the output format. The value is interpreted as | |
| 133 | + * a bitmask. Any combination of the following flags may be set: | |
| 134 | + * {@link FormattableFlags#LEFT_JUSTIFY}, {@link | |
| 135 | + * FormattableFlags#UPPERCASE}, and {@link | |
| 136 | + * FormattableFlags#ALTERNATE}. If no flags are set, the default | |
| 137 | + * formatting of the implementing class will apply. | |
| 138 | + * | |
| 139 | + * @param width | |
| 140 | + * The minimum number of characters to be written to the output. | |
| 141 | + * If the length of the converted value is less than the | |
| 142 | + * <tt>width</tt> then the output will be padded by | |
| 143 | + * <tt>' '</tt> until the total number of characters | |
| 144 | + * equals width. The padding is at the beginning by default. If | |
| 145 | + * the {@link FormattableFlags#LEFT_JUSTIFY} flag is set then the | |
| 146 | + * padding will be at the end. If <tt>width</tt> is <tt>-1</tt> | |
| 147 | + * then there is no minimum. | |
| 148 | + * | |
| 149 | + * @param precision | |
| 150 | + * The maximum number of characters to be written to the output. | |
| 151 | + * The precision is applied before the width, thus the output will | |
| 152 | + * be truncated to <tt>precision</tt> characters even if the | |
| 153 | + * <tt>width</tt> is greater than the <tt>precision</tt>. If | |
| 154 | + * <tt>precision</tt> is <tt>-1</tt> then there is no explicit | |
| 155 | + * limit on the number of characters. | |
| 156 | + * | |
| 157 | + * @throws IllegalFormatException | |
| 158 | + * If any of the parameters are invalid. For specification of all | |
| 159 | + * possible formatting errors, see the <a | |
