Subject: Don't drop precision from floating point GP coordinates
X-Git-Url: http://git.tdb.fi/?a=commitdiff_plain;ds=sidebyside;h=0f9d1757a4590f554bcfc87f79c7a72baa5ad95d;p=ext%2Fsubsurface.git

Don't drop precision from floating point GP coordinates

Using '%f' limits the precision to 6 decimals, which may well be
perfectly ok.  But at least in theory you *could* have higher precision,
and gps units will report it, so don't mindlessly limit us to what %f
shows.

This arbitrarily uses '%.12g' instead.  %g will drop excess zeroes at
the end, so it actually results in the same (or shorter) ascii
representation unless you have the extra precision.
