public class: FormatSpecification [javadoc | source]

java.lang.Object
   org.jfree.report.filter.FormatSpecification

The FormatSpecification classifies a format string into the 4 known classes of format-strings of Java. This is used by the Excel-export to transform the raw-formatstring into a suitable cell-format.

This class is plain value-carrier. It is mutable and should not be used outside the scope of querying raw-datasources.
