Half precision floating point - wish list

[henrytj]

This is a wish list item. I hope that sometime in the future FP/Lazarus will add support for a relatively new half precision floating point data type. This is gaining use in high dynamic range (HDR) graphics and gaming systems. Here are some links.

This is the kind of thing I am interested in working with using FP/Lazarus.
