Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] How do I use formatter in QT GUI Label?

[Richard Bell]

All,

I'm still not sure what's going on with this. Is it a problem with my installation or a bug in the code related to the formatter? Has anyone tested using the formatter field recently?

v/r,

Rich

Dan and Marcus (from another thread related to this),

I'm trying to do what you say, but I get an error when using "{0:.3e}".format in the formatter field. The default value (0) is now formatted properly but it won't ever update and in terminal I get the following error

I also get this error whenever I double click the QT GUI Label in question:

Am I doing something wrong?

I am not sure about this, but you may try the standard python formatters.  See https://docs.python.org/2/library/string.html

I am displaying a number using QT GUI Label in GRC like this

20.6u

when I want it to display like this

20.6e-6 or 20.6x10-6, something along these lines.

What do I put in the formatter section to make this happen?
