------- Additional comments from lew_merr...@openoffice.org Thu Jul 23 19:13:45 +0000 2009 ------- The standards for presentation of metric values in engineering require a format that would represent (A) leading zeros (for values between -1 and +1) and (B) no trailing zeros. I.E. if the number comes back as "1", it is displayed as "1". If the number comes back as ".12", it is displayed as "0.12". The way the standard is written, there is no limit as to the number of decimal places used by a value -- though, in practice, there would be. Therefore, an "Engineering Metric Value" format (we need a better descriptor than that) would have: (A) leading zero; (B) no trailing zeros; and (C) a limit to the total number of decimal places used. This would bring it into compliance with ISO and ANSI standards. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
