Increasing the amount of decimals / significant digits shown in the nodes #1305

Closed stillpointx closed 4 years ago

Is there a way to increase the amount of decimals / significant digits shown in the nodes? I type in .003 but 0.00 is shown.

This is just a display thing, the actual value you typed is retained.

But can we change the node to show it without adding another viewer node?

We can show up to 6 digits I think. But the question is if we should. It looks like this:

If it doesn't break something why not give the user the option? Default could be two decimal places and an option to use more if desired. I'm using it to animate strange attractors / chaos theory stuff which the smallest change has large effects even 0.0031 effects things drastically over time. These images are made with very slight changes. https://ijk4de.gitlab.io/3d/ . To have .003 show up as 0.00 is very strange would be nice to have an option to change this behavior if it doesn't break something.

Implemented in 6d8aba6.

Thanks! :-)

I am sorry, but we had to revert this commit as we don't believe it is a good solution. However, we are exploring alternatives and we will hopefully reach a satisfactory solution.
