Actually the Format class is not a part of AWT and need not be a part 
of BreezyGUI at all.  You can download the source code for this class from
http://faculty.cs.wwu.edu/martin/, remove the package specifier, and
recompile to use it as a standalone Java class.  The method
Format.justify is overloaded to accept ints, doubles, or strings as
parameters.  You can specify left, center, or right justification, and
also a precision for double.  The method in each case returns a string. 


Here is an example:

// Returns "   56.433"
String s = Format.justify('r', 56.4325, 9, 3);
