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).

Return type

Fieldset
