inlinestaticnoexcept

#include <xtd.core/include/xtd/basic_string.h>

Writes the text representation of the specified arguments list, to basic_string using the specified format information.

Parameters

fmt	A composite format basic_string.
args	arguments list to write using format.

Returns

basic_string formatted.

Remarks

A format specifier follows this prototype:

%[flags][width][.precision][length]specifier

specifier	Output	Example
d or i	Signed decimal integer	392
u	Unsigned decimal integer	7235
o	Unsigned octal	610
x	Unsigned hexadecimal integer	7fa
X	Unsigned hexadecimal integer (uppercase)	7FA
f	Decimal floating point, lowercase	392.65
F	Decimal floating point, lowercase (uppercase)	392.65
e	Scientific notation (mantissa/exponent), lowercase	3.9265e+2
E	Scientific notation (mantissa/exponent), uppercase	3.9265E+2
g	Use the shortest representation: e or f	392.65
G	Use the shortest representation: E or F	392.65
a	Hexadecimal floating point, lowercase	-0xc.90fep-2
A	Hexadecimal floating point, uppercase	-0XC.90FEP-2
c	Character	a
s	basic_string of characters	sample
p	Pointer address	b8000000
n	Nothing printed. The corresponding argument must be a pointer to a signed int. The number of characters written so far is stored in the pointed location
%	A % followed by another % character will write a single % to the stream.	%

The format specifier can also contain sub-specifiers: flags, width, .precision and modifiers (in that order), which are optional and follow these specifications:

flags	description
-	Left-justify within the given field width; Right justification is the default (see width sub-specifier).
+	Forces to prefix the result with a plus or minus sign (+ or -) even for positive numbers. By default, only negative numbers are preceded with a - sign.
(space)	If no sign is going to be written, a blank space is inserted before the value.
#	Used with o, x or X specifiers the value is prefixed with 0, 0x or 0X respectively for values different than zero. Used with a, A, e, E, f, F, g or G it forces the written output to contain a decimal point even if no more digits follow. By default, if no digits follow, no decimal point is written.
0	Left-pads the number with zeroes (0) instead of spaces when padding is specified (see width sub-specifier).

width	description
(number)	Minimum number of characters to be printed. If the value to be printed is shorter than this number, the result is padded with blank spaces. The value is not truncated even if the result is larger.
*	The width is not specified in the format basic_string, but as an additional integer value argument preceding the argument that has to be formatted.

.precision	description
.number	For integer specifiers (d, i, o, u, x, X): precision specifies the minimum number of digits to be written. If the value to be written is shorter than this number, the result is padded with leading zeros. The value is not truncated even if the result is longer. A precision of 0 means that no character is written for the value 0. For a, A, e, E, f and F specifiers: this is the number of digits to be printed after the decimal point (by default, this is 6). For g and G specifiers: This is the maximum number of significant digits to be printed. For s: this is the maximum number of characters to be printed. By default all characters are printed until the ending null character is encountered. If the period is specified without an explicit value for precision, 0 is assumed.
.*	The precision is not specified in the format basic_string, but as an additional integer value argument preceding the argument that has to be formatted.

Remarks

The length sub-specifier modifies the length of the data type. This is a chart showing the types used to interpret the corresponding arguments with and without length specifier (if a different type is used, the proper type promotion or conversion is performed, if allowed):

length	d i	u o x X	f F e E g G a A	c	s	p	n
(none)	int	unsigned int	double	int	char8*	void*	int*
hh	signed char8	unsigned char8					unsigned char8*
h	short int	unsigned short int					short int*
l	long int	unsigned long int		win_t	wchar*		long int*
ll	long long int	unsigned long long int					long long int*
j	intmax_t	uintmax_t					intmax_t*
z	size_t	size_t					size_t*
t	ptrdiff_t	ptrdiff_t					ptrdiff_t*
L			long double

Note regarding the c specifier: it takes an int (or wint_t) as argument, but performs the proper conversion to a char8 value (or a wchar) before formatting it for output.

you can use std::basic_string or std::wstring with format param %s.

parse< drawing::color >()

template<>

drawing::color xtd::parse< drawing::color > ( const std::string &  str )

inline

#include <xtd.drawing/include/xtd/drawing/color.h>

Creates a xtd::drawing::color class from the specified name.

Parameters

name	A string that is the name of a predefined color. Valid names are the same as the names of the elements of the xtd::drawing::known_color enumeration or hexadecimal value that represents argb value, or four decimal values separated by a comma representing respectively a, r, g, b, values.

Returns

xtd::drawing::color The xtd::drawing::color structure that this method creates.
