Description

Convert an object to FLOAT format.

Arguments and Return Values

Arguments: Any three dimensional numeric array

Return Value: The array converted into floating point precision

Usage

Syntax: float(object = VAL)

The float() function copies and converts an object to FLOAT format. The behavior of float() when dealing with values out of the representable range, 1.4e-45 to 3.4e38, is undefined. This function is equivalent to format(object=VAL, format=FLOAT).

5x5x1 array of byte, bsq format [25 bytes]
