Problem with FLOAT in CW_FORM
type: item
description: Hello! Building a widget based fit program (IDL 5.1 / Linux) I encountered the following problem: I use the CW_FORM widget to enter my initial values of the fit parameter. If I type e.g. "0.350" in a FLOAT field, IDL will work with "0.3499999940" or something like that. How can I teach IDL to use the _exact_ value? Thanks in advance, Steffen -- ____________________________________________________________ _ | | | | Steffen Keitel | Tel. : +49-40-8998-3705 | | HASYLAB am DESY (25b, 209) | Fax. : +49-40-8998-2787 | | Notkestr. 85 | | | D-22603 Hamburg, Germany | email: steffen.keitel@desy.de | |_____________________________|_____________________________ __|
