I don't think that there is a way to do this directly. A workaround that
can be used to avoid the problem is to specify a "range" and the
number of
"ticks" that just leads to fewer digits. For example, for your data
you
could set legend_args = list(range = c(-1.9, 1.9), ticks = 5).
For a reproducible example, consider
ipol <- function (x) pmin (x / 4, 1)
mosaic(~ Hair + Eye, data = HairEyeColor,
shade = TRUE, gp_args = list(interpolate = ipol),
legend_args = list(range = c(-7.1, 7.1), ticks = 7))
I have cc'ed David Meyer, the maintainer of vcd. David, for fixing the
problem, I think we should compute 'tw' in legend_resbased() only based
on
digits but better on the actual rounded 'at' values. For example, we
could
do the following (maybe with digits = 2 rather than 3):
if(is.null(at)) {
at <- seq(from = head(col.bins, 1), to = tail(col.bins, 1), length =
ticks)
lab <- format(round(at, digits = digits), nsmall = digits)
}
tw <- lab[which.max(nchar(lab))]

I'm not sure what exactly you want to change here, the ipol function above
appears to work as intended.
Hope that helps,
