Fixed issues

#21208

Details

Before: What was the problem?

When using KMB formatting for a unit that is non base 10 such as binary bytes, the tick intervals will align on a multiple of a base 10 number, so when the formatting occurs the number do not align nicely with the KMB formatting. Setting the interval manually can be difficult/expensive when you have a highly variable, dynamic dataset.

For example, where formatter code looks like so:

function (value) {
  if (value >= 1024 * 1024 * 1024) {
    return (value / (1024 * 1024 * 1024)).toFixed(2) + ' GiB';
  } else if (value >= 1024 * 1024) {
    return (value / (1024 * 1024)).toFixed(2) + ' MiB';
  } else if (value >= 1024) {
    return (value / 1024).toFixed(2) + ' KiB';
  } else {
    return value + ' B';
  }
}

After: How does it behave after the fixing?

When using the same formatter but with tickBase = 2
