## unitWidth() [2/2]

template<typename Derived >

Derived icu::number::NumberFormatterSettings< Derived >::unitWidth | ( | UNumberUnitWidth | width | ) | const &

Sets the width of the unit (measure unit or currency).

Most common values:

- Short: "$12.00", "12 m"
- ISO Code: "USD 12.00"
- Full name: "12.00 US dollars", "12 meters"

Pass an element from the `UNumberUnitWidth` enum to this setter. For example:

    NumberFormatter::with().unitWidth(UNumberUnitWidth::UNUM_UNIT_WIDTH_FULL_NAME)

The default is the SHORT width.

Parameters

  width | The width to use when rendering numbers.

Returns
  The fluent chain

## usage() [1/2]

template<typename Derived >

Derived icu::number::NumberFormatterSettings< Derived >::usage | ( | StringPiece | usage | ) | &&

Overload of usage() for use on an rvalue reference.

Parameters

  usage | The unit `usage`.

Returns
  The fluent chain.

  ICU 68

## usage() [2/2]

template<typename Derived >

Derived icu::number::NumberFormatterSettings< Derived >::usage | ( | StringPiece | usage | ) | const &

Specifies the usage for which numbers will be formatted ("person-height", "road", "rainfall", etc.)

When a `usage` is specified, the output unit will change depending on the `Locale` and the unit quantity. For example, formatting length measurements specified in meters:

`NumberFormatter::with().usage("person").unit(MeasureUnit::getMeter()).locale("en-US")`

- When formatting 0.25, the output will be "10 inches".
- When formatting 1.50, the output will be "4 feet and 11 inches".

The input unit specified via unit() determines the type of measurement being formatted (e.g. "length" when the unit is "foot"). The usage requested will be looked for only within this category of measurement units.

The output unit can be found via FormattedNumber::getOutputUnit().

If the usage has multiple parts (e.g. "land-agriculture-grain") and does not match a known usage preference, the last part will be dropped repeatedly until a match is found (e.g. trying "land-agriculture", then "land"). If a match is still not found, usage will fall back to "default".

Setting usage to an empty string clears the usage (disables usage-based localized formatting).

Setting a usage string but not a correct input unit will result in an U_ILLEGAL_ARGUMENT_ERROR.

When using usage, specifying rounding or precision is unnecessary. Specifying a precision in some manner will override the default formatting.

Parameters

  usage | A `usage` parameter from the units resource. See the unitPreferenceData in source/data/misc/units.txt, generated from `unitPreferenceData` in CLDR's supplemental/units.xml.

Returns
  The fluent chain.
