bar plot display #2

The bar plotting looks weird for me. Does it use a non-standard font? Also, would it be nicer/better to format the numbers into a human-readable format, rather than huge ints and scientific notation?

Requires a unicode font. Adobe Source Code Pro is available for free and looks even better than the authors suggestion of Menlo (Monaco works also but the last box isn't attractive). Menlo and Monaco may be Mac only; am not sure.

I recommend source code pro

regarding human readable numbers, agree completely ; there is a "human" golang library . the uniplot/barplot library we are using also includes hook for formatter function so would be easy
