## @deftypefn  {Function File} {} num2str (@var{x})
## @deftypefnx {Function File} {} num2str (@var{x}, @var{precision})
## @deftypefnx {Function File} {} num2str (@var{x}, @var{format})
## Convert a number (or array) to a string (or a character array).  The
## optional second argument may either give the number of significant
## digits (@var{precision}) to be used in the output or a format
## template string (@var{format}) as in @code{sprintf} (@pxref{Formatted
## Output}).  @code{num2str} can also handle complex numbers.
##
## Examples:
##
## @example
## @group
## num2str (123.456)
##      @result{} "123.46"
##
## num2str (123.456, 4)
##      @result{} "123.5"
##
## s = num2str ([1, 1.34; 3, 3.56], "%5.1f")
##      @result{} s =
##         1.0  1.3
##         3.0  3.6
## whos s
##      @result{}
##       Attr Name        Size                     Bytes  Class
##       ==== ====        ====                     =====  =====
##            s           2x8                         16  char
##
## num2str (1.234 + 27.3i)
##      @result{} "1.234+27.3i"
## @end group
## @end example
##
## Notes:
##
## For @sc{matlab} compatibility, leading spaces are stripped before returning
## the string.
##
## The @code{num2str} function is not very flexible.  For better control
## over the results, use @code{sprintf} (@pxref{Formatted Output}).
##
## For complex @var{x}, the format string may only contain one
## output conversion specification and nothing else.  Otherwise, results
## will be unpredictable.
