Ruby on Rails

Unless I'm missing something, you want a setter and getter for a "virtual" attribute: say DiameterStr and DiameterStr=, which perform or not the conversion as needed. Then you always reference f.text_field :DiameterStr.

You could always play around with making the underlying attributes private, or at least a diameter= method which throws an exception... (Which slightly complicates DiameterStr=...)
