The getValue() method accepts an optional parameter 'round' which allows to
define a precision for the generated output. The standard precision is '2'.
Output with unit of measurement
The function getType() returns the current unit of measurement.
Outputting unitsgetType();
]]>Output as localized string
Outputting a string in a format common in the users' country is usually desirable. For example, the
measurement "1234567.8" would become "1.234.567,8" for Germany. This functionality will be supported in a
future release.
