FixToDouble
ptolemy.actor.lib.conversions.FixToDouble

This actor converts a FixToken into a DoubleToken. This conversion is explicitly provided because there is no lossless conversion between these two types in the type lattice, and thus the type system does not do this conversion automatically. Although the conversion might be lossless, a FixToken can, in principle, have arbitrary precision, and thus can exceed the capabilities of a double.
