Functions

def dotted(self, dots=1)

Returns the 'dotted' value of the fraction, e.g. 1/4 with one dot is 1/4 + 1/8 = 3/8, e.g. the time value of a dotted quarter.

Parameters

dots : int
The number of dots to apply, each dot adds half the previous value of the fraction.

Returns

A new fraction representing the dotted value.
