SP4: Poor automatic layout behavior for empty tick labels

ScottPlot Version: 4.1.63

Operating System: Windows 11

Application Type: WPF

Question: As the title says. My current approach is to use TickLabelFormat, making it returns an empty string when it’s a decimal:

<WpfPlot x:Name="plotControl" />

plotControl.Plot.BottomAxis.MinimumTickSpacing(0.5);
plotControl.Plot.BottomAxis.TickLabelFormat((d) => d % 1 == 0 ? d.ToString() : string.Empty);

However this approach causes inconsistency on layout when zooming with mouse wheel:

hide labels for decimal ticks

Oops, I realize now I misunderstood the question 😅

My “solution” hides all tick labels, and I missed your custom tick formatter 🤦 reopening 😅

Therefore, the first solution you’ve come up with (hiding labels by tick type) isn’t feasible

Hopefully #2634 solved it. I’ll publish a new package on NuGet tonight and you can let me know if it doesn’t perform as expected.

Thanks again for this issue!
