Describe the bug
I am logging electricity usage on a minute by minute basis. In rrdgraph, when the Y-Axis is set to Logarithmic the parameter --left-axis-format seems to have no effect. The left Y-Axis values are always shown in exponential format. I would like to have the left Y-axis values in the format xx.yy as in the attached picture on the right Y-Axis.
I'm using rrdtool version 1.7.0 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
To Reproduce
I use the following shell script to generate a PNG from an rrd db:
# Generate a graph showing a day of electricity values, one value per minute.
# Define some basic variables
date_string=`date +"%c"`
date_string_escaped=${date_string//:/\\:}
end_time=`date +%s`
start_time=$end_time-86400
rrdtool graph /var/lib/owfs/graphs/meter_fast_IR_Demand_920.png \
--start $start_time --end $end_time \
--vertical-label "Instantaneous Power Electricity kW" \
--units-exponent 0 \
--left-axis-format %1.2lf \
--right-axis-format %1.2lf \
--right-axis 1:0 \
--logarithmic \

Expected behavior
I would expect the left Y-Axis to be the same as the right Y-Axis
Screenshots
Further Information
When I add the option --units=si then the left Y-Axis values are shown with a suffix, e.g. 500 m, but the right Y-Axis remains unaffected.
I would be grateful for any hints as to why the Y-Axis formatting comes out in exponential notation.
