[rrd-users] Y-axis label is sometimes 1.0 instead of 1

I have also another graph (same rrdgraph script) for inside temperature and the values are fine: 25, 26 and so on. Why does rrdtool put 1.0, 2.0 and so on when the values (range?) is small enough? Can this be forced somehow to always display an integer instead of float? Thanks! Oh, and I'm using rrdtool 1.4.7.

Replying to myself again but I made some tests. If the y-axis label 
parameter -y has 1 (unit, degrees C in my case) or less as the number of 
grid lines the values are 0.0, 1.0, 2.0 etc. Eg. -y 1:x. If I use -y 2:x 
then the values are 0, 1, 2 etc. Is it supposed to work this way?
