Format tip pair as a single value when the two values are equal?

A case found in the wild: the binning of integers between 0 and 7, that results (by default) in small bins such as [4 — 4.5]. If the format was showing only the integer part (as suggested in #1268), this PR would automagically solve this case. (However in this case, we'd also want the bin labels to be "4" and not "4 inclusive to 5 exclusive".) |

By default when formatting pairs (y1, y2), we display
${format(a)}—${format(b)}
. It does not feel terribly useful to repeat the value whena
andb
end up being formatted identically.If for example you're showing a tip on an interval that is [3.1—3.2] with an integer format, showing
"3"
(read as "somewhere around 3 something") is as informative and slightly better than"3—3"
("between 3 something and 3 something").This does not happen often, since hopefully the format discriminates between values, but when it happens we would be as happy with showing
${format(a)}
alone.I tried to thing of a case where on the opposite, one might want to show a repetition; for example on a calendar where you want to show an interval that goes "from Sunday to Sunday", as
"Sun—Sun"
. In that case, you would have to create a specific channel since the automatic tip format would now show"Sun"
only.This enhancement would incidentally help with the waffle tips (#2132), but is not necessary for them, and should be discussed on its own merits.
(Note: does not apply when the value is the difference — i.e.
hint: {length: true}
).The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
