NAME
"LaTeXML::Number" - representation of numbers, dimensions, skips and glue.
DESCRIPTION
This module defines various dimension and number-like data objects
- "LaTeXML::Number"
-
represents numbers,
- "LaTeXML::Float"
-
represents floating-point numbers,
- "LaTeXML::Dimension"
-
represents dimensions,
- "LaTeXML::MuDimension"
-
represents math dimensions,
- "LaTeXML::Glue"
-
represents glue (skips),
- "LaTeXML::MuGlue"
-
represents math glue,
- "LaTeXML::Pair"
-
represents pairs of numbers
- "LaTeXML::Pairlist"
-
represents list of pairs.
Common methods
The following methods apply to all objects.
- "@tokens = $object->unlist;"
-
Return a list of the tokens making up this
$object.
- "$string = $object->toString;"
-
Return a string representing
$object.
- "$string = $object->ptValue;"
-
Return a value representing
$objectwithout the measurement unit (pt) with limited decimal places.
Numerics methods
These methods apply to the various numeric objects
- "$n = $object->valueOf;"
-
Return the value in scaled points (ignoring shrink and stretch, if any).
- "$n = $object->smaller($other);"
-
Return
$objector$other, whichever is smaller
- "$n = $object->larger($other);"
-
Return
$objector$other, whichever is larger
- "$n = $object->absolute;"
-
Return an object representing the absolute value of the
$object.
- "$n = $object->sign;"
-
Return an integer: -1 for negatives, 0 for 0 and 1 for positives
- "$n = $object->negate;"
-
Return an object representing the negative of the
$object.
- "$n = $object->add($other);"
-
Return an object representing the sum of
$objectand$other
- "$n = $object->subtract($other);"
-
Return an object representing the difference between
$objectand$other
- "$n = $object->multiply($n);"
-
Return an object representing the product of
$objectand$n(a regular number).
