Hey guys,
I have to agree that with the new graphs the engineering notation makes it
harder to read the numbers.
That's both on the Y axis and datapoints. My suggestion would be to use
easy-to-read formatted numbers. Instead of 1.00e+6 we could have 1,000,000
and only add the '.NNN' when there is actually something to be shown,
limited to 3 digits.
There's another thing I miss in the new graphs: the current (last) value. It
shows MIN, MAX and AVG but you have to move your mouse to the actual last
datapoint to know what the last value was.
And the last suggestion would be to autoscale the Y axis by default.

I surely can live without all of that, but I think these suggestions would
improve the new graphs.
