Is there any way to round a float to the nearest whole number. It may seem
like a stupid question but i have been trying with int() and failing
dismally.
Thanks

I'm not sure why there's no round() function, but here, this should work:

#macro round(x)
floor(x+0.5)
#end

(floor() is like int() except that it always rounds towards negative
infinity, whereas int() rounds towards zero. The + 0.5 causes the transition
from one integer to another to occur when x passes by something-and-a-half.)

IMO

#declare round=function(x){floor(x+0.5)};

would be better.

  Don't know about better, but at least it's much faster. :)
