格式化数字是不经常用到的,只有在例如丑陋的"0.30000000000000004"出现在你的数轴标签上时,或者你想要使用固定精度将几千的数字组织为更加可读的形式,例如"$1,240.10",再或者你可能只想展示一个特定的数字的显著位。D3使用标准的数字格式化使得一切变得简单,例如,创建一个用0补齐4位数字的函数,可以这样:
```
var zero = d3.format("04d");
```
现在,你就可以调用 zero 来很方便的格式化你的数字了:
```
zero(2); // "0002"
zero(123); // "0123"
```
当然,除了数字,D3还支持格式化和解析日期,逗号分隔字串。
## Numbers
[\#](#d3_format) d3.**format**(*specifier*)
返回给定的字符串(specifier)的格式化函数(等同于适用默认的美国英语语言环境的[locale.numberFormat](Localization#locale_numberFormat))。唯一的入参是数字,返回代表格式化数字的字符串。这个格式化规范模拟的是Python 3.1内置的格式化规范语言\[\[format specification mini-language|[http://docs.python.org/release/3.1.3/library/string.html#formatspec\]\]。规范(specifier)的通常格式如下](http://docs.python.org/release/3.1.3/library/string.html#formatspec%5D%5D%E3%80%82%E8%A7%84%E8%8C%83%EF%BC%88specifier%EF%BC%89%E7%9A%84%E9%80%9A%E5%B8%B8%E6%A0%BC%E5%BC%8F%E5%A6%82%E4%B8%8B):
```
[[fill]align][sign][symbol][0][width][,][.precision][type]
```
*fill*可以是任意字符,除了 “{“ 和 “}”,fill 由紧跟它的*align*选项标识。
*align*有三种选项:
- ("<") 在可用的区域左对齐。
- (">") 在可用的区域右对齐(默认)。
- ("^") 在可用的区域居中。
*sign*可能是:
- plus ("+") - 可以用于正数或负数。
- minus ("-") - 仅仅用于负数(默认)。
- space (" ") - 前面的空格应该用在正数前面,而减号必须用在负数!
*symbol*可能是:
- currency ("$") - a currency symbol should be prefixed (or suffixed) per the locale.
- base ("#") - for binary, octal, or hexadecimal output, prefix by "0b", "0o", or "0x", respectively.
The "0" option enables zero-padding.
The *width* defines the minimum field width. If not specified, then the width will be determined by the content.
The *comma* (",") option enables the use of a comma for a thousands separator.
The *precision* indicates how many digits should be displayed after the decimal point for a value formatted with types "f" and "%", or before and after the decimal point for a value formatted with types "g", "r" and "p".
The available *type* values are:
- exponent ("e") - use \[\[Number.toExponential|[https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global\_Objects/Number/toExponential](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Number/toExponential)\]\].
- general ("g") - use \[\[Number.toPrecision|[https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global\_Objects/Number/toPrecision](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Number/toPrecision)\]\].
- fixed ("f") - use \[\[Number.toFixed|[https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global\_Objects/Number/toFixed](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Number/toFixed)\]\].
- integer ("d") - use \[\[Number.toString|[https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global\_Objects/Number/toString](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Number/toString)\]\], but ignore any non-integer values.
- rounded ("r") - round to *precision* significant digits, padding with zeroes where necessary in similar fashion to fixed ("f"). If no *precision* is specified, falls back to general notation.
- percentage ("%") - like fixed, but multiply by 100 and suffix with "%".
- rounded percentage ("p") - like rounded, but multiply by 100 and suffix with "%".
- binary ("b") - outputs the number in base 2.
- octal ("o") - outputs the number in base 8.
- hexadecimal ("x") - outputs the number in base 16, using lower-case letters for the digits above 9.
- hexadecimal ("X") - outputs the number in base 16, using upper-case letters for the digits above 9.
- character ("c") - converts the integer to the corresponding unicode character before printing.
- SI-prefix ("s") - like rounded, but with a unit suffixed such as "9.5M" for mega, or "1.00µ" for micro.
The type "n" is also supported as shorthand for ",g".
[\#](#d3_formatPrefix) d3.**formatPrefix**(*value*\[, *precision*\])
Returns the [SI prefix](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_prefix) for the specified *value*. If an optional *precision* is specified, the *value* is rounded accordingly using [d3.round](#d3_round) before computing the prefix. The returned prefix object has two properties:
- symbol - the prefix symbol, such as "M" for millions.
- scale - the scale function, for converting numbers to the appropriate prefixed scale.
For example:
```
var prefix = d3.formatPrefix(1.21e9);
console.log(prefix.symbol); // "G"
console.log(prefix.scale(1.21e9)); // 1.21
```
This method is used by d3.format for the `s` format.
[\#](Formatting#d3_round) d3.**round**(*x*\[, *n*\])
Returns the value *x* rounded to *n* digits after the decimal point. If *n* is omitted, it defaults to zero. The result is a number. Values are rounded to the closest multiple of 10 to the power minus *n*; if two multiples are equally close, the value is rounded up in accordance with the built-in \[\[round|[https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global\_Objects/Math/round](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Math/round)\]\] function. For example:
```
d3.round(1.23); // 1
d3.round(1.23, 1); // 1.2
d3.round(1.25, 1); // 1.3
d3.round(12.5, 0); // 13
d3.round(12, -1); // 10
```
Note that the resulting number when converted to a string may be imprecise due to IEEE floating point precision; to format a number to a string with a fixed number of decimal points, use [d3.format](Formatting#d3_format) instead.
## Strings
[\#](Formatting#d3_requote) d3.**requote**(*string*)
Returns a quoted (escaped) version of the specified *string* such that the string may be embedded in a regular expression as a string literal.
```
d3.requote("[]"); // "\[\]"
```
## Dates
See the \[\[d3.time|Time-Formatting\]\] module.
