//+  Tutorial illustrating use and precision of the Double32_t data type
//
// You must run this tutorial with ACLIC
//    root > .x double32.C+
//
// The following cases are supported for streaming a Double32_t type
// depending on the range declaration in the comment field of the data member:
//  A-    Double32_t     fNormal;
//  B-    Double32_t     fTemperature; //[0,100]
//  C-    Double32_t     fCharge;      //[-1,1,2]
//  D-    Double32_t     fVertex[3];   //[-30,30,10]
//  E-    Double32_t     fChi2;        //[0,0,6]
//  F-    Int_t          fNsp;
//        Double32_t*    fPointValue;   //[fNsp][0,3]
//
// In case A fNormal is converted from a Double_t to a Float_t
// In case B fTemperature is converted to a 32 bit unsigned integer
// In case C fCharge is converted to a 2 bits unsigned integer
// In case D the array elements of fVertex are converted to an unsigned 10 bits integer
// In case E fChi2 is converted to a Float_t with truncated precision at 6 bits
// In case F the fNsp elements of array fPointvalue are converted to an unsigned 32 bit integer
//           Note that the range specifier must follow the dimension specifier.
// the case B has more precision (9 to 10 significative digits than case A (6 to 7 digits).
//
// The range specifier has the general format: [xmin,xmax] or [xmin,xmax,nbits]
//  [0,1]
//  [-10,100];
//  [-pi,pi], [-pi/2,pi/4],[-2pi,2*pi]
//  [-10,100,16]
//  [0,0,8]
// if nbits is not specified, or nbits <2 or nbits>32 it is set to 32
// if (xmin==0 and xmax==0 and nbits <=14) the double word will be converted
// to a float and its mantissa truncated to nbits significative bits.
//
// IMPORTANT NOTE
// --------------
// Lets assume an original variable double x:
// When using the format [0,0,8] (ie range not specified) you get the best
// relative precision when storing and reading back the truncated x, say xt.
// The variance of (x-xt)/x will be better than when specifying a range
// for the same number of bits. However the precision relative to the 
// range (x-xt)/(xmax-xmin) will be worst, and vice-versa.
// The format [0,0,8] is also interesting when the range of x is infinite
// or unknown.
