[plot] Readability issue with axes
trafficstars
2 feedback from ESRF scientifics on Flint.
The scientific notation is not used in axes which make the result difficult to read.
- Values like
300000are displayed - Values like
0.0000000000001are displayed - Worst, for small values like
0.0000000000001, as there is not enough spaces, the value is truncated and all the labels of the axis can contains0.0000000(which is pointless)
I could be nice to use at least scientific notation:
- for numbers > 1000
- for numbers < 0.01
- We could try to use back the offset concept
- The data tooltip have to provide the right value anyway
- Maybe display it for every labels
3x10^5 + 0.1 - Maybe explicitly display that there is an offset
OFFSET + 0.1
There is no good solution i guess. But we could improve the result.
And this could be improved in silx.
