Decimal places dependent on zoom level? #47

Closed Denz1994 closed 3 years ago

Opening this issue to track progress on , as a part of during https://github.com/phetsims/tasks/issues/1017

// TODO: Should the number of decimal places depend on the value or perhaps on zoom level?
  We want to show -2 -1 0 1 2, but also -0.5, 0, 0.5, right?

It seems like the motive here is that zooming in/out on a graph should update the number of decimal places. I will leave for a designer to detail specifics for the desired behavior or if we still want this behavior at all.

@Denz1994 I think it really depends on the range of values. If the range is large, we will likely need to support varying the number of decimal places with the zoom level. I think the specifics will always depend on the sim, so I'm not sure what the general solution would be.

For charts that require this level of flexibility, it may be easier to use bamboo.

Closing, we don't need to support this (bamboo handles it).
