ToS

25 de set.

█ OVERVIEW

Contains methods for conversion to string of simple types int/float/bool/string/line/label/box.

- toS() - For bool/int/float works much the same as str.tostring() with some shorthand formatting options for int/float. For line/label/box displays their text and coordinates automatically formatting x coordinate as time or bar index.

- toShortString() - Converts a number to a short form using "k", "m", "bn" and "T" nominators. (e.g. `12,350` --> `12.4k`).
Supports some shorthand formatting options for int/float and time.

█ HOW TO USE

All toS() methods have the same parameters:
  Parameters:
    val (int): A float to be converted to string
    format (string): Format string, which depends on the value type
    nz (string): (string) A string used to represent na (na values are substituted with this string).

For toS(bool/int/float) format parameter works in the same way as `str.format()` (i.e. you can use same format strings as with `str.format()` with `{0}` as a placeholder for the value)

Some shorthand "format" options available:

--- number ---
- "" => "{0}"
- "number" => "{0}"
- "0" => "{0, number, 0 }"
- "0.0" => "{0, number, 0.0 }"
- "0.00" => "{0, number, 0.00 }"
- "0.000" => "{0, number, 0.000 }"
- "0.0000" => "{0, number, 0.0000 }"
- "0.00000" => "{0, number, 0.00000 }"
- "0.000000" => "{0, number, 0.000000 }"
- "0.0000000" => "{0, number, 0.0000000}"
--- date ---
- "... <date> ... " in any place is substituted with "{0, date, dd.MM.YY}"
- "date" => "{0, date, dd.MM.YY}"
- "date : time" => "{0, date, dd.MM.YY} : {0, time, HH.mm.ss}"
- "dd.MM" => "{0, date, dd:MM}"
- "dd" => "{0, date, dd}"
--- time ---
- "... <time> ... " in any place is substituted with "{0, time, HH.mm.ss}"
- "time" => "{0, time, HH:mm:ss}"
- "HH:mm" => "{0, time, HH:mm}"
- "mm:ss" => "{0, time, mm:ss}"
- "date time" => "{0, date, dd.MM.YY\} {0, time, HH.mm.ss}"
- "date, time" => "{0, date, dd.MM.YY\}, {0, time, HH.mm.ss}"
- "date,time" => "{0, date, dd.MM.YY\},{0, time, HH.mm.ss}"
- "date\ntime" => "{0, date, dd.MM.YY\}\n{0, time, HH.mm.ss}"


For toS(line):
    format (string): (string) (Optional) Use `x1` as placeholder for `x1` and so on. E.g. default format is `"(x1, y1) - (x2, y2)"`.

For toS(label):
    format (string): (string) (Optional) Use `x1` as placeholder for `x`, `y1 - for `y` and `txt` for label's text. E.g. default format is `(x1, y1): "txt"` if ptint_text is true and `(x1, y1)` if false.

For toS(box):
    format (string): (string) (Optional) Use `x1` as placeholder for `x`, `y1 - for `y` etc. E.g. default format is "(x1, y1) - (x2, y2)".

For toS(color):
    format (string): (string) (Optional) Options are "HEX" (e.g. "#FFFFFF33") or "RGB" (e.g. "rgb(122,122,122,23)"). Default is "HEX".
