There is a discussion in the Lugnet group at facebook on the fact that people leave Lugnet.com in favour for other, often theme specialized sites. Questions like "Why is it so and what can be done to get people back to Lugnet?" are discussed. Some (...) (15 years ago, 14-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Thanks for the info. I've always used perl scripts to convert oddly formatted data to a consistent format and then read it like that. Nice to know I don't always have to. If it could only read some of the more bizarre Fortran formats I'd never (...) (15 years ago, 12-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) All float specifiers (e, E, f, g, G) are treated identically by the scanf functions. When scanning floats, they always recognize all float formats. One other thing about %g on output is that it automatically strips trailing zeros, which %f (...) (15 years ago, 12-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Ahhh. I'd never heard of %g before now. I'm so used to %f and %e it had never occured to me that there might be a mixed option. Handy to know as I suspect it would be helpful in reading files of unknown format. I'm sure Delphi has some hideous (...) (15 years ago, 12-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Actually, in C, %g does exactly this. Having said that, I think LDDP is a Delphi app, so it uses Pascal, and I don't remember how Pascal does formatting. --Travis (15 years ago, 12-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I definitely know this. I see them far too much in my job as a numerical physicist ;) My point is that to write in mixed format (some %f and others %e) requires some strange coding unless there is a weird language which does it automatically. (...) (15 years ago, 12-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I mostly agree with this policy. (...) There is nothing strange in the routines, it is the standard format used to represent very large or very small numbers in a limited number of digits. Actually since values never get very large in LDraw (...) (15 years ago, 11-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) My suggestion would be to read numbers in that notation but never write them. I'm not sure why LDDP would write them that way (it would require some strange output routines) but if one thing writes them then it's best to read them. Tim (15 years ago, 11-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I think it should be forbidden in official files as the benefit is very small and it is not good human readable. Benefit would be smaller filesize, as 0.0004 (6 characters) has more characters than 4E-4 (4 characters). Against could be 0.4 (3 (...) (15 years ago, 10-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I think you just catched a really wrong version of that part. The file that is currently on the PT is fine like I already wrote above. The last change to this file has been on 07.03.2010 so the mentioned error is now gone. cu mikeheide (15 years ago, 10-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad)
