================================ round( x[, n])

Return the floating point value x rounded to n digits after the decimal ... So that won't do it. "rounded to n digits AFTER the decimal point".

Oops, sorry I got caught out too.

I don't know of anything that rounds to n significant digits. Looks ike you need to roll your own, although a quick search on Google or the Vaults of Parnassus might be worthwhile first since its a non trivial task...
