public class Expander : IPseudoLocalizationMethod

Constructors

Name	Description
Expander()	Creates an instance with default padding characters.
Expander(char)	Creates an instance with a single padding character.
Expander(char, char)	Creates an instance with a range of padding characters from start to end.

Properties

Name	Description
ExpansionRules	Rules based on string length, that determine the amount to append onto the input string as a ratio of its length. For example, 0.3 would add an extra 30% onto the length. Note: Negative values are ignored. When the newly calculated length is not whole then the next largest whole number will be used. Rules can also be added using SetConstantExpansion(float) and AddExpansionRule(int, int, float).
Location	The location where the padding characters will be added to the input string.
MinimumStringLength	The minimum length strings should be before evaluating the ExpansionRules. For example if the value was 10, then all strings under 10 in length would be increased to 10 before the expansion rules were applied. By default this value is 1.
PaddingCharacters	The characters to randomly pick from when padding the length.

Methods

Name	Description
AddCharacterRange(char, char)	Adds all characters between start and end to the list of padding characters.
AddExpansionRule(int, int, float)	Adds an expansion rule to ExpansionRules
SetConstantExpansion(float)	Sets a single expansion rule that will be applied to all strings.
Transform(Message)	Pad the string with random characters to increase its length.
