feat: Truncate Point and RothC output up to five significant figures

Hi @iamrajiv - this is better, having consistency in the columns helps (I don't know what is happening in step 4 for PLANTCM).

I think a better way to implement it would be using .toPrecision which would make it easier to implement variable precision
(i.e. provide a button to increase or decrease the number of significant figure) in a future PR.

@aornugent I have updated the code and the screenshot please review once.

Closer! How come you went for toFixed? It sets a fixed number of decimal places, which leads to some numbers being very long. If we set the number of significant figures, then every data point should've roughly the same length, and closer to how humans interpret numbers (e.g. If a number is 1000, I usually don't care about differences of 0.00001)

Please try toPrecision?

Also, .toFixed formats the result as a string right?could we use that for formatting numeric values in our state config rather than the $$ syntax?

Awesome! Can you please file two issues:

1. repeat this process to format the date column more clearly.

2. add a component to increase or decrease the table precision dynamically.

Thanks for your hard work!
