Add one more example in the LogAxis story book section with on the vertical axis AND horizontal axis we go from 1e-10 to 1e10.

It seems that currently the way we display the values changes from scientific notation to normal notation and it does not look very pretty to me.

I would suggest that if we need to display one value as scientific notation all the values are in scientific notation.

@stropitek @targos What do you think about it ?

@wadjih-bencheikh18 You may already add the storybook and we should decide what we do.

This happens because the default tick label format function just converts the value to a string (value) => String(value) and that's what JavaScript does by default with numbers.

Something to discuss. I guess d3 have some utilities to get the nice looking tick labels.

Otherwise I have prepare something and could add this utility somewhere and add testcases.

@wadjih-bencheikh18 Are you able to implement the number formatting from d3 as default formatter (similar with what you did for date) ?

In date format this option is in react-d3-utils
But yes we can do it in react-plot

@targos I have 2 questions here:

  • should it be limited to log scale ? We could also use the d3 formatter for linear axis and not only log axis
  • should it go to react-d3-utils ?

If it makes sense to use it for linear scales too, sure.

should it go to react-d3-utils ?

Yes

yess fixing default tickFormat in react-d3-utils is better
