/**
 * @class vtkNumberToString
 * @brief Convert floating and fixed point numbers to strings
 *
 * This class uses the double-conversion library to convert floating point and
 * fixed point numbers to ASCII versions that are represented without
 * numerical precision errors.
 *
 * Typical use:
 *
 * @code{cpp}
 *  #include "vtkNumberToString.h"
 *  vtkNumberToString convert;
 *  float a = 1.0f/3.0f;
 *  std::cout << convert(a) << std::endl;
 * @endcode
