DESCRIPTION
::math::roman is a pure-Tcl library for converting between integers and
roman numerals. It also provides utility functions for sorting and per-
forming arithmetic on roman numerals.
This code was originally harvested from the Tcler's wiki at
http://wiki.tcl.tk/1823 and as such is free for any use for any pur-
pose. Many thanks to the ingeneous folk who devised these clever rou-
tines and generously contributed them to the Tcl community.
While written and tested under Tcl 8.3, I expect this library will work
under all 8.x versions of Tcl.
COMMANDS
::math::roman::toroman i
Convert an integer to roman numerals. The result is always in
upper case. The value zero is converted to an empty string.
::math::roman::tointeger r
Convert a roman numeral into an integer.
::math::roman::sort list
Sort a list of roman numerals from smallest to largest.
::math::roman::expr args
Evaluate an expression where the operands are all roman numer-
als.
Of these commands both toroman and tointeger are exported for easier
use. The other two are not, as they could interfer or be confused with
existing Tcl commands.
