public class AngleFormat
extends Format

Parses and formats angles according a specified pattern. The pattern is a string containing any characters, with a special meaning for the following characters:

D   The integer part of degrees

d   The fractional part of degrees

M   The integer part of minutes

m   The fractional part of minutes

S   The integer part of seconds

s   The fractional part of seconds

.   The decimal separator

Upper-case letters D, M and S are for the integer parts of degrees, minutes and seconds respectively. They must appear in this order (e.g. "M'D" is illegal because "M" and "S" are inverted; "D°S" is illegal too because there is no "M" between "D" and "S"). Lower-case letters d, m and s are for fractional parts of degrees, minutes and seconds respectively. Only one of those may appears in a pattern, and it must be the last special symbol (e.g. "D.dd°MM'" is illegal because "d" is followed by "M"; "D.mm" is illegal because "m" is not the fractional part of "D").

The number of occurrence of D, M, S and their lower-case counterpart is the number of digits to format. For example, "DD.ddd" will format angle with two digits for the integer part and three digits for the fractional part (e.g. 4.4578 will be formatted as "04.458"). Separator characters like °, ' and " and inserted "as-is" in the formatted string (except the decimal separator dot ("."), which is replaced by the local-dependent decimal separator). Separator characters may be completely omitted; AngleFormat will still differentiate degrees, minutes and seconds fields according the pattern. For example, "0480439" with the pattern "DDDMMmm" will be parsed as 48°04.39'.

The following table gives some examples of legal patterns.

Pattern Example

DD°MM'SS" 48°30'00"

DD°MM' 48°30'

DD.ddd 48.500

DDMM 4830

DDMMSS 483000

    angle - Angle to format, in degrees.
    
    toAppendTo - Where the text is to be appended.
    
    pos - An optional FieldPosition identifying a field in the formatted text, or null if this information is not wanted. This field position shall be constructed with one of the following constants: DEGREES_FIELD, MINUTES_FIELD, SECONDS_FIELD or HEMISPHERE_FIELD.

```
    Formats an angle, a latitude or a longitude and appends the resulting text to a given string buffer. The string will be formatted according the pattern set in the last call to applyPattern(java.lang.String). The argument obj shall be an Angle object or one of its derived class (Latitude, Longitude). If obj is a Latitude object, then a symbol "N" or "S" will be appended to the end of the string (the symbol will be choosen according the angle's sign). Otherwise, if obj is a Longitude object, then a symbol "E" or "W" will be appended to the end of the string. Otherwise, no hemisphere symbol will be appended.
    
    Strictly speaking, formatting ordinary numbers is not the AngleFormat's job. Nevertheless, this method accept Number objects. This capability is provided only as a convenient way to format altitude numbers together with longitude and latitude angles.
    
    Specified by:
    
    format in class Format
    
    Parameters:
    
    obj - Angle or Number object to format.
    
    toAppendTo - Where the text is to be appended.
    
    pos - An optional FieldPosition identifying a field in the formatted text, or null if this information is not wanted. This field position shall be constructed with one of the following constants: DEGREES_FIELD, MINUTES_FIELD, SECONDS_FIELD or HEMISPHERE_FIELD.
    
    Returns:
    
    The string buffer passed in as toAppendTo, with formatted text appended.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if obj if not an object of class Angle or Number.
  - parse
```
public Angle parse(String source,
                   ParsePosition pos)
```
    Parses a string as an angle. This method can parse an angle even if it doesn't comply exactly to the expected pattern. For example, this method will parse correctly string "48°12.34'" even if the expected pattern was "DDMM.mm" (i.e. the string should have been "4812.34"). Spaces between degrees, minutes and secondes are ignored. If the string ends with an hemisphere symbol "N" or "S", then this method returns an object of class Latitude. Otherwise, if the string ends with an hemisphere symbol "E" or "W", then this method returns an object of class Longitude. Otherwise, this method returns an object of class Angle.
    
    Parameters:
    
    source - A String whose beginning should be parsed.
    
    pos - Position where to start parsing.
