It could be changed, but I am not sure if it is worth the trouble.<br>
When I wrote the module, I used bioclim from worldclim as test suite<br>
which also uses integer. That means when using worldclim as input, the<br>
default settings produce output identical to worldclim's bioclim maps.<br>
<br>
Instead of leaving the rounding to the user, you could also leave the<br>
conversion to fp to the user. I prefer to have rounding to integer<br>
because 1) users will not get the false impression of high accuracy<br>
with floating point values,2) it saves a lot of disk space.<o:p></o:p></p>
