float

float(fs[, number_of_bits])

Returns a Fieldset with integer data converted into floating point data for more accurate computations.

Parameters

fs (Fieldset) – input fieldset
number_of_bits (number) – defines the number of bits used for packing the float values. If not given, the default value of 24 is used (unless gribsetbits() has been called to set it).
