getAnnotationFormatter

public static <T> Formatter<T> getAnnotationFormatter(SessionControl sc,
 Annotation a,
 Unit unit)

Get a formatter for nice formatting of annotation values, including units. A base formatter is created by getTypeFormatter(SessionControl, Type) using the value type of the annotation. This formatter is wrapped by a PrefixSuffixFormatter if a unit is supplied or the annotation has a unit.

Parameters:

a - The annotation to get a formatter for

unit - The unit, or null to use the unit from the annotation (Annotation.getUnit().

getFormulaFormatter

public static <T> Formatter<T> getFormulaFormatter(SessionControl sc,

This method uses the value type of the formula (Formula.getValueType()) and getTypeFormatter(SessionControl, Type) to create the basic formatter. If the formula is numerical and uses coloring information the formatter is wrapped in a color formatter getColorFormatter(SessionControl, Coloring, Formatter). If the value type of the formula can't be determined a ToStringFormatter is used.

Parameters:

sc - The logged in user's session control

formula - The formula
