Description

It would be good to have an option to have the number of decimals in axis labels behave consistently.

Current default:
10
12.5
15
17.5

Desired outcome:
10.0
12.5
15.0
17.5

Proposed change:

Add a new option to tickformat parameter named 'consistent', which will make sure that the number of decimals is always aligned.

Research direction

Start by locating the tickformat entry point and the existing axis-label formatting behavior. Done means a new “consistent” option produces the shown decimal-aligned labels, with regression coverage for the mixed integer and decimal examples.
