The BIPM guide to the expression of uncertainty in measurements gives minimal guidance on the bracket uncertainty format. In section 7.2.2 three examples are given for bracket uncertainty.
Note that I've made slight modifications to these examples.
Currently
sciform
provides access to a format like (A) by usingbracket_unc=False
and (B) by usingbracket_unc=True
However, there is no option in
sciform
to realize the formatting presented in option (C) where the entire decimal representation of the uncertainty is displayed in parentheses. The idea in this post is to include a new feature to permit this type of formatting.Note that the
bracket_unc_remove_seps
does NOT provide the requested functionality. Thebracket_unc_remove_seps
feature controls whether decimal or thousandths separators are retained or stripped from the uncertainty in parentheses (in cases where those characters are present), but does not control the trimming of significant or non-significant digits.Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
