- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### AbstractFormat

          protected AbstractFormat()

      Create an improper formatting instance with the default number format for the numerator and denominator.

    - #### AbstractFormat

          protected AbstractFormat(NumberFormat format)

      Create an improper formatting instance with a custom number format for both the numerator and denominator.
      Parameters:
        `format` - the custom format for both the numerator and denominator.

    - #### AbstractFormat

          protected AbstractFormat(NumberFormat numeratorFormat,
                        NumberFormat denominatorFormat)

      Create an improper formatting instance with a custom number format for the numerator and a custom number format for the denominator.
      Parameters:
        `numeratorFormat` - the custom format for the numerator.
        `denominatorFormat` - the custom format for the denominator.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getDefaultNumberFormat

          protected static NumberFormat getDefaultNumberFormat()

      Create a default number format. The default number format is based on `NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(java.util.Locale)`. The only customization is the maximum number of BigFraction digits, which is set to 0.
      Returns:
        the default number format.

    - #### getDefaultNumberFormat

          protected static NumberFormat getDefaultNumberFormat(Locale locale)

      Create a default number format. The default number format is based on `NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(java.util.Locale)`. The only customization is the maximum number of BigFraction digits, which is set to 0.
      Parameters:
        `locale` - the specific locale used by the format.
      Returns:
        the default number format specific to the given locale.

    - #### getDenominatorFormat

          public NumberFormat getDenominatorFormat()

      Access the denominator format.
      Returns:
        the denominator format.

    - #### getNumeratorFormat

          public NumberFormat getNumeratorFormat()

      Access the numerator format.
      Returns:
        the numerator format.

    - #### setDenominatorFormat

          public void setDenominatorFormat(NumberFormat format)

      Modify the denominator format.
      Parameters:
        `format` - the new denominator format value.
      Throws:
        `NullArgumentException` - if `format` is `null`.

    - #### setNumeratorFormat

          public void setNumeratorFormat(NumberFormat format)

      Modify the numerator format.
      Parameters:
        `format` - the new numerator format value.
      Throws:
        `NullArgumentException` - if `format` is `null`.

    - #### parseAndIgnoreWhitespace

          protected static void parseAndIgnoreWhitespace(String source,
                                      ParsePosition pos)

      Parses `source` until a non-whitespace character is found.
      Parameters:
        `source` - the string to parse
        `pos` - input/output parsing parameter. On output, `pos` holds the index of the next non-whitespace character.

    - #### parseNextCharacter

          protected static char parseNextCharacter(String source,
                                ParsePosition pos)

      Parses `source` until a non-whitespace character is found.
      Parameters:
        `source` - the string to parse
        `pos` - input/output parsing parameter.
      Returns:
        the first non-whitespace character.

    - #### format

          public StringBuffer format(double value,
                            StringBuffer buffer,
                            FieldPosition position)

      Formats a double value as a fraction and appends the result to a StringBuffer.
      Specified by:
        `format` in class `NumberFormat`
      Parameters:
        `value` - the double value to format
        `buffer` - StringBuffer to append to
        `position` - On input: an alignment field, if desired. On output: the offsets of the alignment field
      Returns:
        a reference to the appended buffer
      See Also:
        `NumberFormat.format(Object, StringBuffer, FieldPosition)`

    - #### format

          public StringBuffer format(long value,
                            StringBuffer buffer,
                            FieldPosition position)

      Formats a long value as a fraction and appends the result to a StringBuffer.
      Specified by:
        `format` in class `NumberFormat`
      Parameters:
        `value` - the long value to format
        `buffer` - StringBuffer to append to
        `position` - On input: an alignment field, if desired. On output: the offsets of the alignment field
