Again, this is a limitation of Asymptote. An array _must_ contain elements of a single type. That beast you want doesn't exist (unless you typedef it, but then you cannot pass arguments anymore). > Since the table usually comes first (you collect your research in > such, for instance), reformatting afterwards only so that asymptote > works is not an option. Why? You can always write an intermediary step to "stringify" every cell. Choose your language. Nick Dokos showed you one way. > Why isn't it possible to force ob-asymptote to make all cells strings? It is possible to force ob-asymptote to make all cells strings. But I don't think ob-asymptote should try that hard to compensate users' misuses of data types. Now, I may be totally wrong.
