getFractionScaleString

Use this method to get the fraction repsentation of a decimal scale value. These are typically fraction values used with Imperial measurement system. If a scale like 1:4 which has the decimal scale value of 0.25 is used the fraction value returned will be 3" = 1'. This can be used in the UI to display the fractional scale value while still maintaning an internal decimal scale.

Syntax​

    RxCore.getFractionScaleString(decimalscale: number, fractionPrecision: number);

Parameters​

  • decimalscale: number — The decimal scale value.
  • fractionPrecision: number — The precision of the fraction indicated by the denominator of a fraction. Example : 1/16 = value 16

Returns​

  • fractionvalue: string — A string representation of the scale using fraction notation.

Example​

var szfractionval = RxCore.getFractionScaleString(0.25, 32);
/
//returns the fraction notation for 0.25 with a precision of 1/32 of an inch shouldl match to 3" = 1'.
