np.float_ or np.double ?

[dsarrut]

in opengate/geometry/utility.py”
Maybe “np.float_” should be “np.double”.
Unsure if related to numpy 2.0 ?

For the moment numpy is a rc version for version 2. ITK and pybind still have problem with that version.

You can test the following

import numpy as np

print(np.finfo(np.longdouble))
print(np.finfo(np.double))
print(np.finfo(np.float_))

you will get:

• longdouble is equivalent to float64 on Windows but different in NIX
• double is just the Python API “C-like” name of float64
• float is just the default float for most systems which it's just float64 but can be different (especially for ARM based machines where is equivalent to float32)

Therefore, float shall be replaced by float64 if you want 64 bit precision at least, otherwise it's safe to be used
