quickplot reads values in as doubles which can only store so many digits in the mantissa. So when quickplot reads in all your time values it may be losing digits that are needed at the end of the mantissa. So, for example (not actual), it reads 1559245834.00 as 155924583.0e+1 loosing the 4. Having quickplot be able to handle more digits would slow down quickpplot, and require more coding at this point. I think you might try subtracting 1559245764 from all your time values, and plot that. I'm pretty sure that will work. I'm guessing that's the time in seconds since the year 1970, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time. Most of the "time" you need to subtract an offset to use it in floating point calculations.
1559245834 seconds --- Looks like you got this data about 117 days ago. When you "zoom-in too far" with quickplot you are starting to round-off the floating point values to much in the zoom calculations, and the values being displayed will be just the artifacts from the round-off process, and not what you want to look at. Adding higher zooming- precision means adding higher floating point calculation precision. A feature request might be to add code that detects when a the variance in a field is much smaller than the fields mean value, and have quickplot automatically subtract an offset to the stored values; but display number values as they originally were. I've though about doing that in the past, but as it turns out quickplot is not the only program that will have problems handling like fields, and in all my use cases I filtered these "problem fields" out before using them with any program. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1200632 Title: X axis is shifted to the right when you zoom in To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/quickplot/+bug/1200632/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
