Hi< I'm a terragen virgin. In a tutorial I see a feature scale listed as '2e+006'. Please can someone explain what this means? Thanks in advance. David

[cyphyr]

2e+006 = 2000000
2e+005 = 200000
2e+007 = 20000000

etc

ps where this method of notation comes from I have no idea, would be interesting to find out.

Thanks Richard, That's all clear now. David

e stands for exponent. In hand-written scientific notation one'd write 10^x, but many calculators and older computers can't handle superscripts, so they replaced it with e, which stands for "to the power of", with 10 being implied. Anyway, thanks for the tutorial, results are pretty awesome.
