precision
Vladimir,
That looks better! Much better. But I noticed one more problem... Is that
level of precision really necessary? That is, all the digits after the
decimal points?
You should only include the precision that is actually useful. For example,
with the s6 object, can "in s6 rcc 2767.4240846610855 -2273.8011132232987
1361.4731033087728 0 0 377.91746131285214 275.72984620547697" be reduced to:
in s6 rcc 2767 -2273 1361 0 0 377 275
Or even better still, can it be reduced further like this?
in s6 rcc 2800 -2300 1400 0 0 380 280
Make sense? The simpler the better. Of course, you don't want to change the
model drastically, but if it can be described with fewer significant digits
(eg, just 2 or 3 digits before the zeros), the easier it will be to input
and understand.
At a minimum, you shouldn't need more than 5 digits precision. Eg,
2767.42408... becomes 2767.4 and 894.776262... becomes 894.78 etc. but you
can probably get away with 2 or 3.
