LaTeXML::Number3pm

Representation of numbers, dimensions, skips and glue.

Overview

This module defines various dimension and number-like data objects

`"LaTeXML::Number"`	represents numbers,
`"LaTeXML::Float"`	represents floating-point numbers,
`"LaTeXML::Dimension"`	represents dimensions,
`"LaTeXML::MuDimension"`	represents math dimensions,
`"LaTeXML::Glue"`	represents glue (skips),
`"LaTeXML::MuGlue"`	represents math glue,
`"LaTeXML::Pair"`	represents pairs of numbers
`"LaTeXML::Pairlist"`	represents list of pairs.

The following methods apply to all objects.

"@tokens = $object->unlist;": Return a list of the tokens making up this $object.

"$string = $object->ptValue;": Return a value representing $object without the measurement unit (pt) with limited decimal places.

These methods apply to the various numeric objects

`"$n = $object->valueOf;"`	Return the value in scaled points (ignoring shrink and stretch, if any).
`"$n = $object->smaller($other);"`	Return `$object` or `$other`, whichever is smaller
`"$n = $object->larger($other);"`	Return `$object` or `$other`, whichever is larger
`"$n = $object->absolute;"`	Return an object representing the absolute value of the `$object`.
`"$n = $object->sign;"`	Return an integer: -1 for negatives, 0 for 0 and 1 for positives
`"$n = $object->negate;"`	Return an object representing the negative of the `$object`.
`"$n = $object->add($other);"`	Return an object representing the sum of `$object` and `$other`
`"$n = $object->subtract($other);"`	Return an object representing the difference between `$object` and `$other`
`"$n = $object->multiply($n);"`	Return an object representing the product of `$object` and `$n` (a regular number).
