You can force it to generate a + sign for positive numbers by including the "+" flag in the format specification, e.g. "%+.9f". That should cause numbers with a magnitude less than 10 to line up when printed. If you will be dealing with a wider range of magnitudes, you will need to figure out what part(s) of the numbers you want lined up, since they would have different numbers of digits before the decimal point. One possibility is to specify that the numbers should be padded with zeros up to a certain field width, which you can do by including the "0" flag and an explicit field width in the format specification, e.g. "%+015.9f". (Very large numbers still won't line up if they have too many digits before the decimal point, so you will need to pick a field width that accommodates numbers within the range you intend to use.) -- Stephen Heumann
