Feature Request: Number Scalings and Formattings

[markopeteri]

Hi,

Great work developing such a great Stream Deck plugin!

To improve it even further, may I suggest to implement in the Stonks settings so that large (and small) numbers can be shown in any of multiple formats so as to also support fitting as much info with as little screen real estate as possible?

See my examples below (assuming 6 characters limit due to current font size and screen size limits).

0.000000001 could be formatted as any of below:

• 1n, 1.0n, ..., 1.000n (n for SI nano)
• n1, n1.0, ..., n1.000 (n for SI nano)
• 1^-9 ... 1.00^-9
• ^-91 ... ^-91.00
• 1_-9 ... 1.00_-9
• _-91 ... _-91.00

0.000001 could be formatted as any of below:

• 1µ, 1.0µ, ..., 1.000µ (µ for SI micro) or 1u, 1.0u, ..., 1.000u (u for SI micro)
• µ1, µ1.0, ..., µ1.000 (µ for SI micro) or u1, u1.0, ..., u1.000 (u for SI micro)
• 1^-6 ... 1.00^-6
• ^-61 ... ^-61.00
• 1_-6 ... 1.00_-6
• _-61 ... _-61.00

0.001 could be formatted as any of below:

• 0.01 ... 0.0100
• .01 ... .01000
• 1^-3 ... 1.00^-3
• ^-31 ... ^-31.00
• 1m, 1.0m, ... , 1.000m (m for SI milli)
• m1, m1.0, ... , m1.000 (m for SI milli)

0.01 could be formatted as any of below:

• 0.01 ... 0.0100
• .01 ... .01000
• 1^-2 ... 1.00^-2
• ^-21 ... ^-21.00
• 1c, 1.0c, ..., 1.000c (c for SI centi)
• c1, c1.0, ..., c1.000 (c for SI centi)

0.1 could be formatted as any of below:

• 0.1 ... 0.1000
• .1 ... .10000
• 1^-1 ... 1.00^-1
• ^-11 ... ^-11.00
• 1d, 1.0d, ..., 1.000d (d for SI deci)
• d1, d1.0, ..., d1.000 (d for SI deci)

1000 could be formatted as any of below:

• 1000
• 1 000
• '1 ... '1.000
• 1k ... 1.000k (w or wo space betw. k and digits, k for SI kilo)
• k1 ... k1.000 (w or wo space betw. k and digits, k for SI kilo)
• 1³ ... 1.000³
• ³1 ... ³1.000
• 1³ ... 1.000³
• ³1 ... ³1.000

10000 could be formatted as any of below:

• 10000
• 10 000
• '10, '10.0 ... '10.00
• 1h ... 1.000h (w or wo space betw. h and digits, h for SI hekto)
• h10 ... h10.00 (w or wo space betw. h and digits, h for SI hekto)
• 10k ... 10.00k (w or wo space betw. k and digits, k for SI kilo)
• k10 ... k10.00 (w or wo space betw. k and digits, k for SI kilo)
• 10T ... 10.00T (w or wo space betw. T and digits, T for thousand)
• T10 ... T10.00 (w or wo space betw. T and digits, T for thousand)

1000000 could be formatted as any of below:

• ''1 ... ''1.00
• '1000 ... '1000
• 1M ... 1.000M (w or wo space betw. M and digits, M for SI mega and million)
• M1 ... M1.000 (w or wo space betw. M and digits, M for SI mega and million)
• 1⁶ ... 1.000⁶
• ⁶1 ... ⁶1.000

1000000000 could be formatted as any of below:

• '''1, '''1.0
• 1.0'''
• 1000''
• 1G ... 1.000G (w or wo space betw. G and digits, G for SI giga)
• G1 ... G1.000 (w or wo space betw. G and digits, G for SI giga)
• 1B ... 1.000B (w or wo space betw. B and digits, B for Billion)
• B1 ... B1.000 (w or wo space betw. B and digits, B for Billion)
• 1⁹ ... 1.000⁹
• ⁹1 ... ⁹1.000

As there are many users using different languages/cultures, the letters would probably be easier to implement as customizable by the user. Although there are some interesting possibilities to intelligently, automatically and dynamically change the scale depending on the value itself.

From a user perspective it might simpler if the configuration had a drop down menu with preset scaling and formatting systems available, for instance:

Formatting options:

• Unscaled (e.g. 1000.00)
• Unscaled, thousand separated (e.g. 1 000.00)
• Scaled, Superscript prefixed (e.g. ³1.000)
• Scaled, Superscript suffixed (e.g. 1.000³)
• Scaled, Subscript prefixed (e.g. ₃1.000)
• Scaled, Subscript suffixed (e.g. 1.000₃)
• Scaled, SI prefixed (e.g. K1.000)
• Scaled, SI suffixed (e.g. 1.000K)
• Scaled, Magnitude quoting prefixed (e.g. '1.000)
• Scaled, Magnitude quoting suffixed (e.g. 1.000')

@markopeteri Thank you for using the plugin and the suggestions. Have you seen the existing scaling? Currently the large numbers show Scaled, SI suffixed (10K, 1.1M, 1.2b...). For super small numbers like (SHIB) we are using `0123. In conjunction with the decimal selection I thought these methods were sufficient while keeping a clean UI. I am afraid super and subscripts might be too small to read. As you suggesting we add all the varions you outlined? Would they apply to all the numbers in the UI or only in certain places. Volume tends to be a large number while most prices are reasonable.
