I'm trying to specify yaxis tick labels from 0 to 1.0 in steps of 0.1. This is what I get:

ygrids=Range[0,1.0,0.1];
0.,0.1,0.2,0.30000000000000004,0.4,0.5,0.6000000000000001,0.7000000000000001,0.8,0.9,1.}

Round[ygrids,0.01] doesn't fix it. (0.001 fixes all but the 7.0000x)

This is too simple to be this hard!

Help appreciated (version 10.1)

I think you should cut the Gordian Knot and forget about rounding. 

Plot[x, {x, 0, 1}, Ticks -> {Automatic, Range[0., 1., .1]}]

plot

The lack of rounding has no visible affect on the plot.

  • $\begingroup$ Yes, I will give this a try next time as I like the simplicity. I hope it works on more complicated graph axis ticks as well. $\endgroup$
