Preferences: Formatting

The Numerical formatting preferences panel provides customization options for measurement units and numerical precision.

Stereo Investigator Whole Slide Edition software collects size information in microns (µm) and measures angles in degrees; this preference panel provides alternate options for measurement unit display. Similarly, you can choose to display 1‑6 significant digits and standard or scientific notation.

• Measuring units: Use the drop-down menus to choose the units displayed

• Digits of precision: Type in or use the spinner to select the significant digits displayed

• Scientific notation: Check the box to display numbers in scientific notation. Clear the checkbox and the default, standard number display is used.
