Hi Andreas and Nicolas,

In the bug report, I mentioned that using trucation
(as opposed to floor ) had problems and pointed out
that with the present implementation (where trucation
is done separately for origin and corner) you could
not count on

aRectangle truncated extent = aRectangle extent
truncated
  
to always be true. I meant that as a dramatization of
the problem not its sole difficulty.

Andreas method could make that true but the truncation
of the origin would still cause the bounds to jitter
as quadrents are crossed. So it would not represent a
complete solution to the truncation and rounding
problem.

Yours in service, --Jerome Peace

Well, at the speed at which you program I would
imagine most fenceposts appear as blurs anyway. ;-p
