Format number to percent

Description

Format values to percentage format. Multiply 100 and add % symbol.

Usage

format_percent(x, digits = 1, ...)

Arguments

x	Number to format percentage.
digits	the desired number of digits after the decimal point (format = "f") or significant digits (format = "g", = "e" or = "fg"). Default: 2 for integer, 4 for real numbers. If less than 0, the C default of 6 digits is used. If specified as more than 50, 50 will be used with a warning unless format = "f" where it is limited to typically 324. (Not more than 15–21 digits need be accurate, depending on the OS and compiler used. This limit is just a precaution against segfaults in the underlying C runtime.)
...	arguments passed to format.

Value

A formatted percent character.
