Understanding floats

Community Usage questions

No such thing as a stupid question, right?

Just trying to get my head around floats. I sent a long float to O-S-C. I tried displaying it in a text widget but it got cut short. I upped the decimal count, but it didn't change.

I'm not sure exactly how useful such long floats are in osc, I'm more just trying to get my head around them and I'm not sure why it's not displaying more decimal places when I increased them in o-s-c.

Changes made to the decimals property property are only applied when the widget receives a new value. By the way you don't need to use an OSC{} block here, the text widget already has its own address to receive values.

If the property can't be parsed as a number ("1.2 1.2" is not a number), the decimals are not applied.
