Scientific notation within a numericField of a GenericDialog

[CARL Philippe (LBP)]

Dear all,
Is there a way to force the content of a numericField (at least for its defaultValue) within a GenericDialog to be shown with scientific notations.
I thank very much in advance for your help on this.
My best regards,
Philippe

Hi Philippe,

you can specify a negative number for the number of digits, then ImageJ
uses scientific notation. It is the same as with IJ.d2s (java) or d2s
(macro).

Macro example:

   Dialog.create("test");
   Dialog.addNumber("the number", 1.0, -3, 8, "units");
   Dialog.show();

Dear Michael,
Thanks a lot for your (as always) very sharp answer which is working as described!
I had lost myself in way more complicated solutions.
Kindest regards,
Philippe

Bonjour Philippe,

when using e.g.
         IJ.d2s( yourDecimalNumber, -2 );
you may even append "toLowerCase()" which gives
         IJ.d2s( yourDecimalNumber, -2 ).toLowerCase();
and from my point of view results in improved readability...

Best

Herbie
