Yes, but 1000001 will be shown as 1.000001E+6 so you have the full accuracy. But I am aware that not everyone is happy with the scientific notation.

Thanks for your answer, however I'm afraid it does not work. 1000000 is still shown as 1.0E+6.
It's really great to hear you're going to improve it.

Thanks.

In the Edit|Options dialog you can specify the number of significant digits shown. Graph can usually handle up to 15 significant digits.

But I agree that numbers are not always shown in an optimal way. When I find the time I will try to improve it.

I was just wondering whether it is possible to show a quite large number (> 1 million) as, for example, 1000000 instead of 1E+6. Now when I use the function to get the value of f(x) of a specific x, I don't get a precise result. Is it possible to show it just as a 'complete' number (so without E)?

Thanks.
