Class ProperFractionFormat

java.lang.Object
java.text.Format
java.text.NumberFormat
All Implemented Interfaces:
java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable

public class ProperFractionFormat
extends FractionFormat
Formats a Fraction number in proper format. The number format for each of the whole number, numerator and, denominator can be configured.

Minus signs are only allowed in the whole number part - i.e., "-3 1/2" is legitimate and denotes -7/2, but "-3 -1/2" is invalid and will result in a ParseException.
