Hi, Yeah I see what you mean, however this is the use case: (pseudo code)
Class point { double x; double y; }; Foreach point p in points { Pcb.LineTo((float)p.x,(float)p.y); } When working with very fine detail and accuracy we need to keep the precision. So basically the issue is iTextSharp does not have overloaded MoveTo/LineTo etc methods that take doubles, *forcing* us to cast to floats, thus loosing precision. Hope this makes sense.

I see that the same happens in iTextSharp: /** * Appends a string representation of a <CODE>float</CODE> according * to the Pdf conventions. * @param i the <CODE>float</CODE> to be appended * @return a reference to this <CODE>ByteBuffer</CODE> object */ public ByteBuffer Append(float i) { return Append((double)i); } Why would we need to cast the float value to double values in each drawing function if the casting is done in ByteBuffer?
