"# Format" does not apply formatting to some values

[alexander-daniel]

Not sure if it's a bug or not, so forgive me if this is expected behaviour!

I've set the # Format in the Layout Panel, however the axes labels for 1000 and 1001 do not conform to that format. Only the axes labels that aren't associated to data points show the formatted style.

@alexander-daniel This may be related to this which should be merged in today or tomorrow.

This looks like the intended behaviour (cc @alexcjohnson)

http://codepen.io/etpinard/pen/RrzXmv

the layout.separators attribute respects significant values in the data.

Note that the comma can be forced in with layout.xaxis.tickformat.

Oops I spoke too soon. This behaviour is not due to significant values in the data, but to the fact that all 4-digit integers all show up w/o separators by design.

See relevant code here.

I'm trying to experiment with the linked codepen example to for the separators using layout.xaxis.tickformat but I can't get it working. Is there a working example one can link to?

Hi Rantler,

What problem are you encountering with the codepen example? As mentioned above, not displaying a comma with 4 digit values seems to be by design. More documentation on tickformat usage can be found here.

Thanks, I'll keep experimenting. I was just hoping for a working example of forcing the format that we're looking for since the by-design behavior isn't meeting our needs.
