Minor suggestion: Show significant digits #559
Comments
Why not use Mode➞Precision? |
As I understand: Mode - Precision, controls the amount of digits in internal calculations, if not exact. Am I wrong about that assumption? |
That is correct, although the internal is approximately 30 digits higher (to avoid lower precision than specified in the final result), and if the precision is not enough for the desired number of digits it will be visible in the result (unless Approximation➞Interval Arithmetic has been disabled). |
Thanks for your reply and then it would be nice (if not too difficult) to have the option for choosing shown significant digits as suggested, especially in case that the user prefers a very high internal precision, like > 60 digits etc. |
…using precision) in decimals dialog (issue #559); Fix double separator after all history results removed from an expression (the expression is consequently also removed); Add support "digits" and "autocalc" qalc set command options; Inrement version number; Update translations; Update manual
In the menu: Mode - decimals
, could there be an added option for choosing shown significant digits instead, as an alternative, basically like "Max digits" ?
For large numbers, it might be too much with many decimals also :-)
