the scatter plot takes its information whether an attribute is numerical/categorical from

some DB statistics. The checkbox for the log scale in your provided screenshot is

deactivated - most likely because BaseX assumes that the TIME attribute is categorical.

This explains the lexicographic order and the different casing (e-01 / E-01).

A quick fix could be to convert the exponential to decimal representation (if you need the

plot at the moment). For now I'm filing an [issue] on GitHub.

Is it possible that you supply us with a part of the document that reproduces the issue?

Hi

I find BaseX a very powerful tool.

One thing I noticed however is that it misunderstands numbers in scientific notation in the scatter plot display.

Please see the attached plot.

The samples should form a rough diagonal line.

However, look at the scale on the left and you can see the exponent field is 'dis-continuous'.

It looks like the chart formatter treats it as a non-scientific number or possibly even lexicographic order.

Best Regards

Greg
