Floating point format for std::ostream
std::cout << std::fixed << std::setw( 11 ) << std::setprecision( 6 ) << my_double;
You need to add
#include <iomanip>
You need stream manipulators
You may "fill" the empty places with whatever char you want. Like this:
std::cout << std::fixed << std::setw( 11 ) << std::setprecision( 6 )
<< std::setfill( '0' ) << my_double;
std::cout << boost::format("%11.6f") % my_double;
You have to #include <boost\format.hpp>
In general, you want to avoid specifying things like 11
and 6
at the
point of output. That's physical markup, and you want logical markup;
e.g. pressure
, or volume
. That way, you define in a single place
how pressure or volume are formatted, and if that formatting changes,
you don't have to search through out the program to find where to change
the format (and accidentally change the format of something else). In
C++, you do this by defining a manipulator, which sets the various
formatting options, and preferrably restores them at the end of the full
expression. So you end up writing things like:
std::cout << pressure << my_double;
Although I definitly wouldn't use it in production code, I've found the
following FFmt
formatter useful for quicky jobs:
class FFmt : public StateSavingManip
{
public:
explicit FFmt(
int width,
int prec = 6,
std::ios::fmtflags additionalFlags
= static_cast<std::ios::fmtflags>(),
char fill = ' ' );
protected:
virtual void setState( std::ios& targetStream ) const;
private:
int myWidth;
int myPrec;
std::ios::fmtflags myFlags;
char myFill;
};
FFmt::FFmt(
int width,
int prec,
std::ios::fmtflags additionalFlags,
char fill )
: myWidth( width )
, myPrec( prec )
, myFlags( additionalFlags )
, myFill( fill )
{
myFlags &= ~ std::ios::floatfield
myFlags |= std::ios::fixed
if ( isdigit( static_cast< unsigned char >( fill ) )
&& (myFlags & std::ios::adjustfield) == 0 ) {
myFlags |= std::ios::internal
}
}
void
FFmt::setState(
std::ios& targetStream ) const
{
targetStream.flags( myFlags )
targetStream.width( myWidth )
targetStream.precision( myPrec )
targetStream.fill( myFill )
}
This allows writing things like:
std::cout << FFmt( 11, 6 ) << my_double;
And for the record:
class StateSavingManip
{
public:
StateSavingManip(
StateSavingManip const& other );
virtual ~StateSavingManip();
void operator()( std::ios& stream ) const;
protected:
StateSavingManip();
private:
virtual void setState( std::ios& stream ) const = 0;
private:
StateSavingManip& operator=( StateSavingManip const& );
private:
mutable std::ios* myStream;
mutable std::ios::fmtflags
mySavedFlags;
mutable int mySavedPrec;
mutable char mySavedFill;
};
inline std::ostream&
operator<<(
std::ostream& out,
StateSavingManip const&
manip )
{
manip( out );
return out;
}
inline std::istream&
operator>>(
std::istream& in,
StateSavingManip const&
manip )
{
manip( in );
return in;
}
StateSavingManip.cc:
namespace {
// We maintain the value returned by ios::xalloc() + 1, and not
// the value itself. The actual value may be zero, and we need

// -1, so we add one in the initialization.
