Re: Scale labels rounded at display

[Winfried Brügmann]

Hi Philippe,

thank you for the hint. Anyhow, select the context menu of the
measurement value with duplicated values and change the number of digits
to be displayed. This will show the same at the scale. and nothing
should be duplicated anymore. Yes, sometimes there are a lot of numbers
displayed at the scale, but you can change this using the context menu
of the graphics canvas and set it to 10 ticks for scale. Sometimes this
give a better overview as well as less numbers at the scale, even if the
full height of the canvas doesn't get used.

Hope this is helping. Have a nice day.

with kind regards, Winfried
