New Significant Figures Display Style

We have implemented a new display style and a calculator function to support it.

You can set an overall display style using the display button.

Display Style – Currently 3 Significant Figures

This will display the result of any calculation showing 3 significant figures.

The addition of a significant figure display style brings the total number of overall display styles to six:

Decimal, Rounded, Fixed, Scientific Notation, Exact and Significant Figures

We have also implemented a new inline calculator command which allows you to override the current overall display setting for an individual calculation.

sig(1343.4564,2) = 1300
sig(1343.4564) = 1340
sig(0.005204,3) = 0.00520

The format of the new command is:

sig(value,sf)

If you do not include a parameter for the number of significant figures, our products will default to 3 significant figures.
