PERL - rounding fractional number

It seems that perl sprintf uses the round-to-even method: foreach my $i ( 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5 ) { printf "$i -> %.0f\n", $i; } __END__ 0.5 -> 0 1.5 -> 2 2.5 -> 2 3.5 -> 4 4.5 -> 4 Where we probably wants to use round-half-up, i.e. output should be as below: 0.5 -> 1 1.5 -> 2... (8 Replies)

NAME
pnmdepth - change the maxval in a portable anymap SYNOPSIS
pnmdepth newmaxval [pnmfile] DESCRIPTION
Reads a portable anymap as input. Scales all the pixel values, and writes out the image with the new maxval. Scaling the colors down to a smaller maxval will result in some loss of information. Be careful of off-by-one errors when choosing the new maxval. For instance, if you want the color values to be five bits wide, use a max- val of 31, not 32. One important use of pnmdepth is to convert a new format 2-byte-per-sample PNM file to the older 1-byte-per-sample format. Before April 2000, essentially all raw (binary) format PNM files had a maxval less than 256 and one byte per sample, and many programs may rely on that. If you specify a newmaxval less than 256, the resulting file should be readable by any program that worked with PNM files before April 2000. SEE ALSO
