set mathProcessor to "fast"
set mathProcessor to "big"

Description

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.

Note

The mathProcessor property is specific to OpenXION; it is not part of the XION Scripting Language Standard.
