In the example used here, all plane points have integer coordinates. In the original Quake map format, only integer coordinates are allowed. This has some advantages and drawbacks. The major advantage is that integer numbers can be written to text files without loss of precision, which is not always true for floating point numbers. The major drawback is that not every plane can be accurately represented using integer coordinates for its points. This becomes problematic when brushes are rotated arbitrarily or when the vertices are edited directly. That is why most modern Quake compilers allow floating point coordinates for plane points. | In the example used here, all plane points have integer coordinates.
