change xy graph x scale precision

[mori64]

Hello

very simply i need to have fixed  number of digit after decimal point .

I thought i can do it with :

X scale -> Display format precision 

but i have faced with this error :

As i scale programmatically scale x-axis (because having more margin) i try this way :

convert float to string with desire precision and then convert it to float .

it works but i thought maybe ther is better way .

Best Regards

I strongly recomment the SI format.  Any scale from 0 to any value with 9 digits resolution needed will be hard to read.

To set number of digits programmatically, you can use "Format string". It does not have 8 digits limit. You can check format strings when you switch to Advanced editing mode.

%#.2g - automatic formatting with 2 digits after decimal point. If you remove #, it will show trailing zeros.

"Increment" is a distance between major ticks. You can also kind of control it using format string by specifying minimum string width

"%-15.2g" - minimum width 15 digits, "-" fill with spaces on right, 2 digits of precision, show trailing zeros.

SI notation is good. 

%#_3pV instead of "0.00153" will show 1.53mV.
