string

This function is used to convert an attribute value to a string.

Parameters: value, MinDecimals, MaxDecimals

  • MinDecimals - Minimum number of decimals (optional, effective only when converting double values)

  • MaxDecimals = Maximum number of decimals (optional, effective only when converting double values), default = same as MinDecimals

This formula multiplies the LENGTH attribute value by 16, divides that by 25.4 and converts the result to a string. The string contains a number with no decimals.


A simpler example would be:

string(3.14, 1) = "3.1".
