NAME

       "LaTeXML::Number" - representation of numbers, dimensions, skips and glue.

DESCRIPTION

       This module defines various dimension and number-like data objects

       "LaTeXML::Number"
           represents numbers,

       "LaTeXML::Float"
           represents floating-point numbers,

       "LaTeXML::Dimension"
           represents dimensions,

       "LaTeXML::MuDimension"
           represents math dimensions,

       "LaTeXML::Glue"
           represents glue (skips),

       "LaTeXML::MuGlue"
           represents math glue,

       "LaTeXML::Pair"
           represents pairs of numbers

       "LaTeXML::Pairlist"
           represents list of pairs.

   Common methods
       The following methods apply to all objects.

       "@tokens = $object->unlist;"
           Return a list of the tokens making up this $object.

       "$string = $object->toString;"
           Return a string representing $object.

       "$string = $object->ptValue;"
           Return a value representing $object without the measurement unit (pt) with limited
           decimal places.

   Numerics methods
       These methods apply to the various numeric objects

       "$n = $object->valueOf;"
           Return the value in scaled points (ignoring shrink and stretch, if any).

       "$n = $object->smaller($other);"
           Return $object or $other, whichever is smaller

       "$n = $object->larger($other);"
           Return $object or $other, whichever is larger

       "$n = $object->absolute;"
           Return an object representing the absolute value of the $object.

       "$n = $object->sign;"
           Return an integer: -1 for negatives, 0 for 0 and 1 for positives

       "$n = $object->negate;"
           Return an object representing the negative of the $object.

       "$n = $object->add($other);"
           Return an object representing the sum of $object and $other

       "$n = $object->subtract($other);"
           Return an object representing the difference between $object and $other

       "$n = $object->multiply($n);"
           Return an object representing the product of $object and $n (a regular number).
