There is absolutely nothing you need floating points number for to solve this. All you need is a fixed point. For instance using 30+2 bit fixed point could solve the 50%+50% or 25%+25%+25%+25% issues (because any one sub-pixel error would be invisible), but as other have noted there is no way to solve it completly. It is product of computer math the same way you should never compare two calculated floating-point numbers accurately. `Allan
