Seems that -w only pads with leading zeros. From "info coreutils seq": |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
`-w' |
| 18 |
`--equal-width' |
| 19 |
Print all numbers with the same width, by padding with leading |
| 20 |
zeros. FIRST, STEP, and LAST should all use a fixed point decimal |
| 21 |
representation. (To have other kinds of padding, use `--format'). |

seq -w 0.00 0.25 1.00 |

|

or use -f: |

|
| 30 |
seq -f "%0.2f" 0 0.25 1 |
