[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #63723] Mouse position in plot window unprecise due to engineering number format

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #63723 (project octave):

As someone noted in comment #1, Octave uses OpenGL for plotting which uses
single data types.  It depends what real number you are trying to represent,
but generally only 7-9 base-10 digits are significant.

You could try using gnuplot for plotting as it uses double precision (~16
base-10 digits).  Type 'graphics_toolkit gnuplot' before plotting to see if
this would work for you.
