Someone recently suggested that we change the default for numarray underflow checking to "ignore". Please vote (+1, 0, -1):
The default of underflow is "warn"
assuming that ignore means that zero will be used, I vote +1 If the difference between zero and the smallest floating point number is significant in your app, you'd better know what you're doing with floating point, and you should then know to set the check to "warn" or "raise". -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer NOAA/OR&R/HAZMAT (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception Chris.Barker@noaa.gov
