I’m using a linear scale in a perspective view. The labels on the scale (not the ones on the indicators) show differing numbers of decimal places depending on value. I see ways to style the labels, but I don’t see a way to force the labels to the same number of decimal places. Is there a way to set the number of decimal places to have a more consistent look?
