Title: MapBasic precision
|
Peter,
You can try using a format$ statement Somethimg
like Format$(Number,"0.000000000").
I think this should return the required number of
decimal places

Subject: MI MapBasic precision
Dear List
I am using ObjectGeography to return the start and end coordinates of lines.
When I double-click on a line in a map window, I get something like
13.37624784 degrees. When I use ObjectGrography to populate a float variable
or float field in a table in MapBasic, I get 13.3762 degrees. This becomes a
problem for points that are close together.
Does anyone know how I can get the higher
precision value? I have tried specifying Bounds with the Coordsys statement
but this does not help.
Thanks
Peter Spurgeon
