I have a difficulty with the "Get Coordinate" tool, which can be
easily seen with a plot like the following:
Plot[Sin[x], {x, 170000, 170005}]
When I call the tool and click on the plot, all the x coordinates
assume the same value, i.e. there appears to be a truncation to a
predefined accuracy which is not compatible with the scale. E.g. I
might get:
{{1.7*^5, -0.9755}, {1.7*^5, -0.4589}, {1.7*^5, 0.5653}}
$Version = "7.0 for Microsoft Windows (32-bit) (November 10, 2008)"
Are you aware of any way to specify the accuracy of the output
coordinates, thus avoiding this problem?
(Of course, in my context it is not possible to subtract 170000 from
the x-axis !)
