I've been thinking about this problem. The current solution is working, 
I ran into it a few weeks ago and I only bumped it to 17 and it already 
fixed my problem. However it generates a whole lot of zeros at the end 
of all resolutions. An even nicer solution would be to use scientific 
notation and than you can stick with the 6 relevant digits. However my 
Python skills aren't up to the task to create scientific notation. But 
if someone feels the urge to be all scientific, go ahead :)
