    Nice y-axis numbers

    Hi,

    I've a number of graphs which are set to have Y calculated, but with the minimum set to zero. The question I have is:

    How can I make the numbers nice?

    At the moment, I'm looking at a graph, and the axis-ticks are numbered: 698.81, 1.36K, 2.05K, 2.73K, 3.41K, 4.09K

    Is there any way that the ticks could snap to nice multiples (eg 1, 2.5, 5 and 10x multiples of these)? Ideally my graph would either have ticks at 500, 1000, 1500, 2000 or at 1000, 2000, 3000.

    The reason I'd like this is that it makes interpreting the graph much easier - I can see that the current value is about 3/4 of the way between one tick and the next, but because the intervals are obscure, it's quite hard to work out the exact value. And I can't read the numbers from the "latest" values in the summary on the bottom as the graph is stacked, so I'd need to add those numbers together.

    If this is possible, can someone tell me how to do it? If someone has a patch, would they share it? Or, if several people would like this functionality, then I'll try to write a patch.
