set mathProcessor to "fast"
set mathProcessor to "big"
The mathProcessor
property determines or changes how mathematical functions are evaluated. If the mathProcessor
is set to "fast"
, mathematical functions use IEEE double precision for the best performance. If the mathProcessor
is set to "big"
, mathematical functions use various methods with arbitrary precision for the best accuracy. The number of fractional digits used when the mathProcessor
is set to "big"
is determined by the precision
property.
Evaluating expressions with the mathProcessor
set to "big"
will significantly slow down scripts, so the mathProcessor
is set to "fast"
by default.
The mathProcessor
property is specific to OpenXION; it is not part of the XION Scripting Language Standard.
