I interpreted it wrong. To see the actual value I must hover over the point.

**Disregard- I don’t think it’s working**. The significant decimal value is always 0. Tried to follow the format documentation and it doesn’t work.

Plotly.plot(‘graph’, [{  
y: [80.013, 80.154, 80.863]  
}], {  
yaxis: {  
tickformat : “.3f”  
}  
})

Thanks
