Sorry I was not clear (it happens when you write in an idiom (...) (26 years ago, 5-May-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) 28.4 is a pretty good general-purpose fixed-point representation. It gives a domain of -134,217,728 to 134,217,727.9375, and you can square numbers up to 11,585 without overflow. 28.4 is also well-suited to vector graphics on relatively (...) (26 years ago, 6-May-99, to lugnet.robotics)
