For anyone else that's curious, Scott and I have been discussing this on github, and would love input from others. I have a minimal working example with a new "fmt" method, but I'd like to work on something that people will actually use. On Thursday, June 18, 2015 at 2:08:45 PM UTC-4, Scott Jo

Yes it was on julia-dev. Regardless I think the right path forward is to start a discussion on github (in Formatting.jl) and we could hash out exactly what would be nice for users. Based on your posts, you may have a very different perspective on string formatting that your average developer/

This was already discussed recently, here on julia-users, I'm trying to get in touch with Dahua Lin (author of Formatting.jl) to see about adding a simpler `sfmt` that would help with this). On Thursday, June 18, 2015 at 10:13:46 AM UTC-4, Tom Breloff wrote: > > I wonder if what we really need is

2015-06-18 Thread Tom Breloff
I wonder if what we really need is just some extra additions to Formatting.jl (since I think this is the best place to keep standard formatting calls). We could add fmt2, fmt3, etc which would be meant for formatting floats to that precision. I suspect that's the most common use of formatting

You could use a type: julia> type Out n::Float64 end julia> function Base.show(io::IO, n::Out) print(io, "$(round(n.n, 2))") end show (generic function with 83 methods) then you can just use Out(x) whenever you want x rounded to 2 d.
