Hi there,

I think there is a bug or missing feature in the Scatter Plot Node.  
When I plot values with a quite narrow range the default 2 digit yticks are not sufficient. Unfortunately theres no menu/option to change it.

To reproduce the behavior:

- create a table w/ 2500 rows
- add Counter for x
- add Math node for y: sin($Counter$/1000)/1e2+0.01
- add Scatter Plot

Hi @ActionAndi,

Thank you for your feedback! We already have a ticket to enhance the representation of too large/small numeric values in the axis labels. I also added your point regarding the “default 2 decimal points” issue to the ticket.

The ticket ID is: UIEXT-1731

This topic will receive an update when the ticket is done.

Hey Andreas,

We currently have this fixed to 2 decimals as we are still waiting for an update of the charting library we are using. Without this fix increasing the decimals would always make them overflow with the axis label. We hoped for this fix much earlier, but according to the charting library devs they plan to release it early march.

Greetings,  
Daniel
