public Class MeasureFormat

To format a Measure object, first create a formatter object using a MeasureFormat factory method. Then use that object's format or formatMeasures methods. Here is sample code:

MeasureFormat fmtFr = MeasureFormat.getInstance(ULocale.FRENCH, FormatWidth.SHORT);
Measure measure = new Measure(23, MeasureUnit.CELSIUS);

// Output: 23 °C
System.out.println(fmtFr.format(measure));

Measure measureF = new Measure(70, MeasureUnit.FAHRENHEIT);

// Output: 70 °F
System.out.println(fmtFr.format(measureF));

MeasureFormat fmtFrFull = MeasureFormat.getInstance(ULocale.FRENCH, FormatWidth.WIDE);
// Output: 70 pieds et 5,3 pouces
System.out.println(fmtFrFull.formatMeasures(new Measure(70, MeasureUnit.FOOT),
        new Measure(5.3, MeasureUnit.INCH)));

// Output: 1 pied et 1 pouce
System.out.println(
        fmtFrFull.formatMeasures(new Measure(1, MeasureUnit.FOOT), new Measure(1, MeasureUnit.INCH)));

MeasureFormat fmtFrNarrow = MeasureFormat.getInstance(ULocale.FRENCH, FormatWidth.NARROW);
// Output: 1′ 1″
System.out.println(fmtFrNarrow.formatMeasures(new Measure(1, MeasureUnit.FOOT),
        new Measure(1, MeasureUnit.INCH)));

MeasureFormat fmtEn = MeasureFormat.getInstance(ULocale.ENGLISH, FormatWidth.WIDE);

// Output: 1 inch, 2 feet
fmtEn.formatMeasures(new Measure(1, MeasureUnit.INCH), new Measure(2, MeasureUnit.FOOT));

This class does not do conversions from one unit to another. It simply formats whatever units it is given

This class is immutable and thread-safe so long as its deprecated subclass, TimeUnitFormat, is never used. TimeUnitFormat is not thread-safe, and is mutable. Although this class has existing subclasses, this class does not support new sub-classes.
