Subject: A new logic to calculate the percentages.
X-Git-Tag: tree-pr2~104
X-Git-Url: https://git.sur5r.net/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=45227fba547fe8d264dce91a48143b6d1d413530;p=i3%2Fi3

A new logic to calculate the percentages.

It's slower, but this way we make sure that the resulting
percentages *ALWAYS* sum up to 1.0 (or as close to that as we get
with double math).
