While investigating the old bug report https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=844858&group_id=2915&atid=102915, I managed to reproduce the problem with the following python script:
#!/usr/bin/env python # Append to effective python path so that can find plplot modules. from plplot_python_start import * import sys from plplot import * from numpy import * # Parse and process command line arguments plparseopts(sys.argv, PL_PARSE_FULL) # Initialize plplot plinit() plsyax(10000, 0) pladv(0) plvpor(0.1, 0.9, 0.1, 0.9) plwind(0.00, 1.00, 0.00, 0.08) plbox("bcnst", 0.0, 0, "bcnstv", 0.0, 0); plend() I have committed (revision 10590) this script as examples/python/test_axis_precision.py so you can play with plsyax and plwind arguments yourself. Despite the extremely large first argument of plsyax, the plot still shows the exponential notation if the maximum y value of plwind is 0.08 completely contrary to an example of how to use plsyax in http://plplot.sourceforge.net/docbook-manual/plplot-html-5.9.5/viewport_window.html#annotation. If I change the plwind call to plwind(0.00, 1.00, 0.00, 0.10) the issue goes away. I am virtually positive this is a bug because I have found no way to get rid of the exponential notation for the maximum y value of 0.08. Does anybody have a clue how to fix or work around this bug?
