Description
If TensorBoard loads a scalar chat with values (Wall time,Step,Value)
1579727534.794,64000,5.544368743896484
1579727944.389,126000,5.545065402984619
1579728140.318,166000,5.545552730560303
1579728495.964,222000,5.545528411865234
The values will be labeled on the y-axis as '5.55'. This lack of precision can be highly misleading. TB should be showing more significant digits when necessary, or perhaps at least an ellipsis '...'.
Similarly, the precise "Value" column in the hover-tooltip shows '5.55'. This means the only reliable way to get the precise values is by downloading the data as CSV or JSON.
