Subject: [Boost-users] [boost.geometry] Why point coordinates are stored to SVG as integers?

Hello,
I'm using boost::geometry::svg_mapper to save my shapes with floating point
coordinates into an .svg file. It works great, but they are stored as
integers. I can see this line in svg_mapper.hpp:
namespace detail { namespace svg
{
typedef model::point<int, 2, cs::cartesian> svg_point_type;
}}
Thus svg_point is clearly defined to have integer coordinates. However, it
is not convenient - SVG handles floating point coordinated perfectly well.
Why not using original type of the serialized collection and let streams
handle representation?
