[Chimera-users] Integer Values instead of Floats in Render by Attribute

[Eric Pettersen]

Hi Daniil,
	Rander/Select By Attribute decides what type a particular attribute is based on the first value that it sees.  Therefore, you have to ensure that all your attributes are indeed floating point with no integers mixed in.  So in your attribute-definition file, make sure that any values that also happen to be integers have decimal points (e.g. “1.0” rather than just “1”).

This does not happen with "native" attributes, only with the newly defined one. Is it a problem with the defattr function not determining/passing the data type correctly? I am pasting the top of the attribute deffinition file below.
