Would require a major rewrite. Neither the display, nor the internal number class supports fractions. Additionally, what should be displayed, if you divide pi by 12, and you want a fractional result? There are ways to create approximate fractions (e.g. using "continued fractions"), but that would give a false impression that your result is actually representable by a fraction.

So to get the real aspect ratio adopted. This can be marked as duplicate of 144741, I would expect it to be implemented if we ever get natural display. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 144741 *** |
