On input, data values are stored in a variable of type "coordval",
which is either float or double depending on the architecture and 
configuration options.   However when the data is used for plotting
the program switches to using integer coordinates representing 
individual pixels to the precision of the current terminal.

I doubt there is much room for switching to integers any earlier.
