Re: [Gnuplot-py-users] gnuplot.py plotting wrong numbers?

Hi,
thanks for the quick answers, I was thinking that it might be some 
float-precision problem. But, being a newbie and as gnuplot.py apparently 
doesn't have a documentation, I couldn't figure it out.

You're right, this type of  precision is probably only interesting for 
physicists and us chemists ;-) And I could probably do with less precision, I 
just haven't bothered to think about if rounding is always a good idea. But 
couldn't there be an auto-detection for the float type or sth? I mean, if 
someone's passing highly precise numbers, he'll probably want to plot them 
correctly...

Could you maybe point me to some information on how to use that workaround? 
I've tried reading the list values as 'np.float64' or converting the list 
via 'np.asarray(x).astype(np.float64)' but that doesn't seem to change 
anything...

Regards,
X.W.
