• Currency: Currency is used for the generator. The default is U.S. dollars. To change to
another currency, chose an option in the Region pop-up menu.
• Percent: Percent is used for the generator.
• Scientific: Uses scientific numbers for the generator.
• Spell Out: Spells out the numbers in the generator.
• Binary: Uses the binary numeral system for the generator. The binary system uses two
symbols (0 and 1) to represent numeric values.
• Hexadecimal: Uses hexadecimal numeral system for the generator. This system uses
16 symbols. The symbols 0 to 9 represent the numbers 0 to 9, and the letters A through
F represent 10 to 15.
Tip: When using the Hexadecimal or Binary formats, inputs of very large numbers are
required to create change in every character in the generator. For example, if the default
Start and End values of 1 and 300 are used (in a default project of 300 frames), only the
last two or three digits appear animated in the Hexadecimal format.
If a number such as 4,294,967,296 is used, nearly all characters are animated.
Decimals: Available when Number, Currency, Percent, or Scientific is chosen from the
Format pop-up menu, sets the number of decimal places.
Capitalize: When this checkbox is selected, initial uppercase letters are used when spelling
out the numbers. This checkbox is available only when Spell Out is chosen from the
Format pop-up menu.
Minimum Digits: Available when Number is chosen from the Format pop-up menu,
defines the minimum digits used in the generator. The default value is 1.
Thousands Separator: Available when Number, Currency, or Percent is chosen from the
Format pop-up menu, displays a comma or other character to separate thousands (based
on what is chosen in the Region pop-up menu).
Random: Numbers are displayed randomly.
