I have an NSNumberFormatter attached to an NStextField that I switch between decimal and scientific notation like so: (The use of -setNumberStyle is encouraged in the documents)
[self.formatter setNumberStyle:NSNumberFormatterScientificStyle]; or [self.formatter setNumberStyle:NSNumberFormatterDecimalStyle]; I then configure decimal places: [self.formatter setMaximumFractionDigits:3]; [self.formatter setMinimumFractionDigits:3]; When the style is decimal formatting occurs as I would anticipate, so if I enter 1.1234 the value is formatted to 1.123 . With the scientific style selected I find that an input of 1.1234e0 is formatted as 1.120e0, as is an input of 1.123e0. ie: the least significant digit is always 0. This is not what I expect, but my expectations may be off the mark here. I also tried call -setMaximumSignificantDigits:4 but this did not seem to improve the situation. Any ideas?
