Choptodat accuracy issues

Hi, just found this unexpected behaviour. I use limit chop to round numbers, yet when converted to DAT
they introduce some accuracy artifcats. I know I can get around this isse with python rounding, but should it happen in first place?

Using 2022.35280, Windows 10

Hi @boros,

CHOPs currently only hold 32-bit floats, which Python and parameters all hold 64-bit floats (doubles). Hence you see this behaviour. Activating the viewer for the Limit CHOP and choosing “Show exact values” from the r-click menu will reveal that same value in the CHOP’s viewer.

To really clamp these values down, you’d have to do this in the DAT chain as you mention.

cheers
Markus

Thank you Markus, I understand this is a matter of a Touchdesigner system architecture. Double thanks for a simple and elegant solution with Evaluate DAT.

Btw - Kudos for great work and support. I just love working with Touchdesigner and am often amazed about how many well thought - through ideas and functionalities it offers. Its a true swiss army knife for live performance and interactive development.
