[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #46000] FormatSpacing is missing

[Kai Torben Ohlhus]

Update of bug #46000 (project octave):

                  Status:               Confirmed => Wont Fix               
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #5:

Both properties "Format" and "FormatSpacing" are clearly deprecated in MATLAB,
see:

https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/release-notes.html?searchHighlight=formatspacing#R2014b

under the point "Properties and syntaxes being removed or changed". But I can
confirm, that in 2014b and 2015b these properties still exist. I don't
recommend to get Octave users used to these properties, if they might be
dropped off MATLAB in the nearer future.

A dirty hack to replace get(0, "format") was checking the display size of PI.


octave:1> format short, int32(length(disp(pi)))
ans = 8
octave:2> format long, int32(length(disp(pi)))
ans = 18
octave:3> format short e, int32(length(disp(pi)))
ans = 14
octave:4> format long e, int32(length(disp(pi)))
ans = 24
