The actual version of QT I/O Graphs interface shows a bad human readable Y
scale unit.

If the Unit is Pakets/s or Bits/s we have in QT interface values like 2.8*10^7

This is something most pople have to think about which value it is. The old
version have shown the total number of zeros, even if there where some more.
See example image. This was much better readable than the new format, but it
could be better.

Example image shows Bits/s as max value in Y Scale
QT Interfaces: 2.8*10^7
old Interface: 50000000

In both pictures, the highest value is about 28Mbit/s 

I would suggest a human readable Y scale with a unit of "Mbit/s". In my
example, a unit of 28Mbit/s would be perfect.

Suggestion: If a values is reaching 1*10^3 or a multiple of it, the unit should
scale automatically with the correct naming of the unit, like Kbit/s, Mbit/s or
Gbit/s. This makes it very easy to read the scale!
