.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBTcl_PrintDouble\fR generates a string that represents the value
|
|
of \fIvalue\fR and stores it in memory at the location given by
|
|
\fIdst\fR. It uses %g format to generate the string, with two
|
|
special twists. First, the string is guaranteed to contain either
|
|
a ``.'' or an ``e'' so that it doesn't look like an integer (where
|
|
%g would generate an integer with no decimal point, \fBTcl_PrintDouble\fR
|
|
adds ``.0''). Second, the number of significant digits printed at
|
|
\fIdst\fR is controlled by the \fBtcl_precision\fR variable in
|
|
\fIinterp\fR; if \fBtcl_precision\fR is undefined then 6 significant
|
|
digits are printed.
