I recently bumped into a problem when working on polygons. Most of my pentagons
weren't generated. In the end changing the points' coordinates from 8
significant digits to 15 significant digits solved the problem. Shouldn't 8
digits be sufficient? That's enough to describe a 100 mm object with a 1 micron
accuracy. Shouldn't POVray take some margin of error into account?
