However, as I already said it elsewhere, some glitches such as the following  one do occur (see the display of whole x)

--> x=1:0.1:2
 x  =
   1.   1.1   1.2   1.3   1.4   1.5   1.6   1.7000000 1.8 1.9   2.


I agree with Christophe. This output is OK for me. Aestheticism must be encouraged provided that it does not truncate or downgrade the information.

About padding every number: Not OK. This would kill one of the assets of the "v" format: its compacity.

About the fact that 1.7 can't be exactly encoded: It is very surprising for a so limited decimal number. But OK. I am also quite surprised that, in this series, only 1.7 can't be exactly encoded.

bitstring allows to see that only 1, 1.5 and 2 are exactly encoded


So, question: Why 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.6 1.8 and 1.9 are displayed without trailing 0, while 1.7 is?
The actual algorithm in addDoubleValue() in tostring_common.cpp is quite simple. The decimal representation of the number x to display is first determined up to the current format settings. The obtained string is then converted back to a double y with atof(). If x and y differ, then trailing zeros can eventually be displayed if the settings allow it.
The argument/explanation according to which 1.7 can't be exactly encoded does not tell all...

By using format(24) in current Scilab version you will have the explanation :

--> (1:0.1:2)'
 ans  =

   1.
   1.100000000000000088818
   1.199999999999999955591
   1.300000000000000044409
   1.399999999999999911182
   1.5
   1.600000000000000088818
   1.700000000000000177636
   1.8
   1.9
   2.

You have (1.700000000000000177636-1.7) >= %eps but for the others the difference is lower
