[mapserver-users] OWS BoundingBox output loss of precision

[Fergus McDonald]

I have an extent param in a MAP file declared as
-10832766.418414999
but in the WMS GetCapabilities response the BoundingBox gives it as
-1.08328e+07

There appears to be a loss of precision in mapows.c when the value is
output using the %g formatting.

I found this old fix on trac
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/1232

but that resolved this issue for WCS output only, by updating %g to
%.15g within mapwcs.c

Does this fix also need to be applied to mapows.c?

The loss of precision is causing problems with client size map
calculations when working at high resolutions.
