Hello

In a program that I'm writting, I must create a couple of xyplots. I store
the x and y components in a file and then use the fl_set_xyplot_file(...)
function to generate the plot.

This works fine with most data however in some of my data, I have very
large y values (around 2.0e308) and when I call fl_set_xyplot_file(...)
with these values in the file that the function reads from, no graph is
generated and in the xterm window, a message appears saying an error
occurred in line XX of the input file.
Where line XX contains x and y values such as:
45 2.0e308

So what are the limits on the X and Y component values? Is there anyway to
overcome this limitation?

regards
vinh
