Decimals, Digit grouping

[podenphant]

Hi,

Working with dynamic drawing af graphs I'm experiencing some problems with.
Decimals.

Basicly text-files are loaded into an app that draw a chart

the text file looks like this ...

528;585;306;337;569;851;1015;964;912;692;918;635

On one PC the number 1015 is percieved as 1.015 regardless of the Regional settings on this PC??? (see attached gv_dec.gif)

Does anybody have a clue on what's going????
Any input is appreciated!

Can you control the limits of the axes? It looks like it's adjusting the number when it falls outside the range. Just a guess without knowing what graphing component you're using or seeing the code.

note the decimal sign in the BAD version.
It only fails on some PC's that in a way percieves 1015 as 1.015 ... so it seems to be a system issue!

The only thing I can think of is that something is causing the 1015 to be formatted as "1.105" (where the "," on an english system is being replaced by a "." because of the regional settings) but that the charting component doesn't understand the regional "." format and is misinterpreting it as a fractional value and messing up the chart.

I split the values into an array ...
528;585;306;337;569;851;1015;964;912;692;918;635

In a loop the values are converted to numbers
arrValues[i] = Number(arrValues[i])

Do you think this could trigger the Decimal sign?

It shouldn't, but the component you're assigning taht value to may be doing some conversion for you.
