"""
Format values and uncertainties nicely for printing.

:func:`format_uncertainty_pm` produces the expanded format v +/- err.

:func:`format_uncertainty_compact` produces the compact format v(##),
where the number in parenthesis is the uncertainty in the last two digits of v.

:func:`format_uncertainty` uses the compact format by default, but this
can be changed to use the expanded +/- format by setting 
format_uncertainty.compact to False.
    
The formatted string uses only the number of digits warranted by
the uncertainty in the measurement.

If the uncertainty is 0 or not otherwise provided, the simple
%g floating point format option is used.

Infinite and indefinite numbers are represented as inf and NaN.

Example::

    >>> v,dv = 757.2356,0.01032
    >>> print format_uncertainty_pm(v,dv)
    757.236 +/- 0.010
    >>> print format_uncertainty_compact(v,dv)
    757.236(10)
    >>> print format_uncertainty(v,dv)
    757.236(10)
    >>> format_uncertainty.compact = False
    >>> print format_uncertainty(v,dv)
    757.236 +/- 0.010

UncertaintyFormatter() returns a private formatter with its own
formatter.compact flag.

# Coordinating scales across a set of numbers is not supported.  For easy
# comparison a set of numbers should be shown in the same scale.  One could
# force this from the outside by adding scale parameter (either 10**n, n, or
# a string representing the desired SI prefix) and having a separate routine
# which computes the scale given a set of values.

# Coordinating scales with units offers its own problems.  Again, the user
# may want to force particular units.  This can be done by outside of the
# formatting routines by scaling the numbers to the appropriate units then
# forcing them to print with scale 10**0.  If this is a common operation,
# however, it may want to happen inside.

# The value e<n> is currently formatted into the number.  Alternatively this
# scale factor could be returned so that the user can choose the appropriate
# SI prefix when printing the units.  This gets tricky when talking about
# composite units such as 2.3e-3 m**2 -> 2300 mm**2, and with volumes
# such as 1 g/cm**3 -> 1 kg/L.
