Screen reader has only fixed precision

Reported by: Martyn Gigg Owned by: Nick Draper
Priority: critical Milestone: Release 2.6

Blocking: Tester: Michael Reuter

Description

The screen reader is fixed at 4 decimal places. If very small values occur then it does not display them correctly. Consider displaying the data in scientific notation when higher precision is required.

Rob Dalgiesh encounters particular problems with this due to small values used in the reflectometry reduction.

This affects only the figures displayed next to the cursor while the screen reader or data reader is active. I have not been able to find which class displays these figures.

To test:

  1. Load a file
  2. Plot the colour fill plot
  3. Use the plot pick tool, note the format of the numbers as the cursor moves over the graph
  4. Use ConvertAxisByFormula to divide the x axis by a large number e.g. x/1000000000
  5. Delete and recreate the graph, updating cannot handle the axis change.
  6. Use the plot picking tool again, note the numbers should now use scientific notation.
  7. Test further on 1D graphs.
