Hello, I am trying to solve a problem in matplotlib where I would have an array of floating point numbers and I want to quickly determine what is the closest common offset to a power of 10. In other words, if given:
[12373.43, 12375.89, 12370.18], I would want returned something like either 12370.0, or the lowest common order of magnitude (in this case, 10). Is there some sort of neat math/numpy trick to figure this out? I already have a brute-force method with a while loop, but I am looking for something a little bit more elegant. Thanks, Ben Root
