[gdal-dev] GdalTools contour

[Even Rouault]

John,

from a quick look at gdal_contour.cpp, I see it uses a float value for the 
contour interval, so unless there's some cast to integer at lower level in 
the contour generation code, it looks more like a limitation by GdalTools, 
and not in GDAL.

Indeed another quick look at 
https://trac.faunalia.it/GdalTools-plugin/browser/trunk/tools/ui_widgetContour.py 
shows the use of a QSpinBox. 

The QT doc specifies http://doc.trolltech.com/4.3/qspinbox.html :
"QSpinBox is designed to handle integers and discrete sets of values (e.g., 
month names); use QDoubleSpinBox  for floating point values"

A text entry might be more appropriate. Anyway, you might want to address your 
request to the GdalTools author instead ;-)

Best regards,

Even
