Description schwamm 2001-11-14 06:03:12 CET 
Printing out my starting material via

...
 _myStartingMaterial = G4Material::GetMaterial("Copper");
 G4cout << _myStartingMaterial << G4endl;"
...

leads to all the following 'G4double' variables being rounded to 'two-digit'
values, i.e. 2.455*MeV changes to 2.5*MeV, 0.0006643 changes to 0.0066,
672.7*keV changes to 6.7e+02*keV etc.!
Comment 1 Michel.Maire 2001-11-14 08:39:59 CET 
It is done on purpose (setPrecision(3)), in order to give a compact
summary of the material properties.
If you wish better, do your own printing method.
