I am wondering how one would convert a float to a string in fixed notation instead of scientific.

I have a Maplet that I would like to set a textbox to a value obtain from a funciton that returns a float

It's for a stop time on an animation,

so I have Evaluate('t_stop'='decay_time('h')') in my Maplet code... but it returns it as scientific notation e.g. 1.234E-1 for 0.1234

I would like to return a string of 0.1234

I have tried using a: = convert ( 0.1234, float 4), convert (a,string), but that still remained as scientific notation...

It's not really that important, but I was wondering if there is a simple way to do this in maple code.

Thanks,

Neil
