Python issue with implicit data types

[Albert Chan]

Hi, 34C

col = (R*256 + G)*256 + B

Formula is to pack color fields into 1 number, with R,G,B as integers, 0 to 255
If variables have fractional parts, it will mess up the combined packed color value.

Your fix is really the correct formula, may not be Python type issue at all.

col = (int(R)*256 + int(G))*256 + int(B)

To confirm, add 1 more statement, and see if colors changed

col = float(col)
