This is great Paul, thanks alot. I find it strange that I'm the first one(?) to nag enough about this to get it implemented. Guess confusion can sometimes lead to great things. |

Note to self and a 'fun' observation; I see that the rounding off is different between the two methods |
|
Sometimes one finds oneself on a train with nothing to do but hack away. |
This is because the -Wn method involves a multiplication of the rectangular extent by the factor "1" which in a computer is not 1 but perhaps 1 + 2e-12 and hence that extra multiplication will mess with insignificant digits down the line. |

Thanks! |
