I don't want fixed point.
I want the output to be as following :
            0.1
           0.02
          0.003
         0.0004
        0.00005
       0.000006


Using 'fixed' causes a new problem.
(P.S. I don't want to define value's maximal size beforehand.)

###### Source C-file : BEGIN ######
// File t2.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;

// -----------------------
template <typename T1>
void show_it (
 unsigned int show_size_i,
 const T1& value_i
 )
{
  cout.setf (ios::right, ios::adjustfield);
  cout << fixed << setw (show_size_i) << value_i << endl;
}


// -----------------------
int main ()
{
#define SHOW_SIZE_CNS 15

  show_it (SHOW_SIZE_CNS, 0.1);
  show_it (SHOW_SIZE_CNS, 0.02);
  show_it (SHOW_SIZE_CNS, 0.003);
  show_it (SHOW_SIZE_CNS, 0.0004);
  show_it (SHOW_SIZE_CNS, 0.00005);
  show_it (SHOW_SIZE_CNS, 0.000006);
  show_it (SHOW_SIZE_CNS, 0.0000007);
  show_it (SHOW_SIZE_CNS, 0.00000008);

  return 0;
}
