Does this mean I can never draw a complete circle because I don't have enough bits to represent 2pi? Posted from: 70.156.138.89 27391 1 ian 2009-09-21 11:04:57 +0000 As far as I can tell, 2*Math.PI gives you enough bits for the foreseeable future. I mean, we're talking about something like a 0.0000000000000005% error in the value of pi, so even if your circle was billions of pixels wide, it'd still line up right, as far as I can tell. 33326 2 mjs 2010-03-14 14:50:04 +0000 This bug predates the HTML Working Group Decision Policy.
