Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (OFFICE-1828) Engineering notationrequires a slightly modified scientific format in which the exponent isalways divisible by 3.
[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-1828?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=26037#action_26037 ] Robert Weir commented on OFFICE-1828: -------------------------------------- According to this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_mark#Examples_of_use It looks like large numbers in Chinese are based on groupings of 10^4. > Engineering notation requires a slightly modified scientific format in which the exponent is always divisible by 3. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: OFFICE-1828 > URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-1828 > Project: OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) TC > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Table > Affects Versions: ODF 1.2 > Reporter: Andreas Guelzow > Assignee: Andreas Guelzow > Priority: Minor > Fix For: ODF 1.3 CSD 01 > > > Engineering notation frequently requires a slightly modified scientific format in which the exponent is always divisible by 3. > We should allow for an attribute (number:exponent-factor or something like) that that determines which multiples are allowed as exponents. It would be 1 for regular scientific notation, 3 for engineering notation,... > Gnumeric currently only allows regular scientific notation and engineering notation and uses a foreign attribute "gnm:engineering" to <number:scientific-number>. A value of "true" indicates that the exponent will always be a multiple of 3. > In this proposal I intend to provide for a more general situation by providing an attribute to <number:scientific-number> that has, at this time, the two integer values 1 and 3 as possible values. This will permit easier extension if any implementation desires to allow other multipliers. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
