Another option (which would be a shorthand for the above) would be an optional parameter to specify the type you want used in the calculation. -CHB -- Christopher Barker, PhD (Chris) Python Language Consulting - Teaching - Scientific Software Development - Desktop GUI and Web Development - wxPython, numpy, scipy, Cython
