Suggestion: format y-Axis Display Values

Post by andyh1234 » Mon Feb 23, 2009 1:21 pm

Hi Malte,

Just a suggestion, it would be good if there was a flag we could set to format the Y axis values, like you can do with the X axis.

We have a chart that is drawing and its putting up values like 438.24 in the y axis. Its possible these items are in the data as its generated from a database, but for the display of the y axis it would be good if we could simply format the text, in this case to apply rounding etc just to keep it neat.

If they are in the data I guess I could add a script to pre-analyze the data returned from the database, but it would be neat if it was an option in the chart control.

Just an idea!

Thanks

Andy

hi andy,

for rounding you can set the charts["gridYNumberFormat"] this is compatible with revolutions numberformat property. If converting for the y-labels is desired, that one should be rather trivial to implement. I will put that on todo for 1.1. I am still collecting things that I want to improve in that version, so it will be a couple of days before I start working on it. If you have more suggestions, please keep them coming!

All the best,

malte
