I'd like to address display precision using d3 labels, so that we have a clear separation between display and storage. Probably related to tickFormat
: https://github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki/Quantitative-Scales#linear_tickFormat
Alternatively, if we can use links for the graph unit markers "nanometers" and "intensity", we could just link to further clarification -- if that's easier than working in d3.js
Users should not be mistaken about the effective resolution of their instruments, but should be able to distinguish between the stored resolution which we use to avoid rounding error (and for ~archival purposes) from displayed resolution (which we should reduce to close to effective hardware-limited resolution) and there should be clear information about these different precisions.
This relates closely to #335 as well, which deals with stored precision, which isn't necessarily displayed to the user.
