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 $object without the measurement
unit (pt) with limited decimal places.
Numerics methods¶
These methods apply to the various numeric objects
- "$n = $object->valueOf;"
- Return the value in scaled points (ignoring shrink and
stretch, if any).
- "$n = $object->smaller($other);"
- Return $object or $other, whichever is smaller
- "$n = $object->larger($other);"
- Return $object or $other, whichever is larger
- "$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 $object and
$other
- "$n = $object->subtract($other);"
- Return an object representing the difference between
$object and $other
- "$n = $object->multiply($n);"
- Return an object representing the product of $object and $n
(a regular number).
