A Gaussian never reaches zero. But I suppose your code will return a zero for large x when y is less than the smallest number your computer can handle. But that is a poor way to define the width of a Gaussian. The slope in the tails of the Gaussian is near zero so a small change in y will results in a large change in your width. _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list [email protected] http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
