Loss of precision when plotting large floats in Makie #1196
Description
I posted an issue to the Julia discourse, and the helpful replies there seem to suggest that this may be a bug in (or downstream from?) Makie, so I figured I'd file an issue here also since I couldn't find a duplicate in the issue tracker.
For completeness, I'll repeat my issue here: I'm doing something which I've reduced to:
using GLMakie
fig = Figure()
ax = Axis(fig[1, 1])
x = (0.1:0.1:10) .+ 1e7
y = 1:100
scatter!(ax, x, y)
save("example.png", fig)This produces:
Whereas I'd expected a straight line. As johnmyleswhite points out in the discourse, the loss of precision is not in the data itself, but seems to happen somewhere along the plotting machinery.
I'm running Makie 0.15.0 with Julia 0.16.2 on Manjaro Linux.
Thank you for the library, I've found it very enjoyable to use.
