I agree 100%, as far as visualization accuracy is concerned. There's also a dynamic range issue, though that can be handled by simply scaling.

I also do my computations in double prec, but I write out single prec data, because it's OK for my purposes. In my case, double precision is to reduce numerical error during calculation, but it is not necessary to have the data visualized with a precision of say, a dozen or more digits after the decimal point. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thomas Ruedas Institute of Meteorology and Geophysics, J.W.Goethe University Frankfurt e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.geophysik.uni-frankfurt.de/~ruedas/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------
