	number can be a scalar number, array or cluster of numbers, array of clusters of numbers, and so on.
	width must be numeric. If unwired, the function uses exactly as many digits as are needed to represent the number, with no extra padding.

In this table, the underline character ( _ ) represents spaces in decimal integer string. number width decimal integer string Comments 4.6 2 _5 Floating-point and fixed-point numbers are rounded to integers. 3.0 4 _ _ _3 If width is larger than needed, spaces are added on the left. –311 3 –311 If width is inadequate, decimal integer string is as large as necessary.
