If we use the Y-Axis Scaling as the example.  I would like to format the numeric values of Y label base on the .Net framework...
System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture and  System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InstalledUICulture classes to pass down into the setLabelFormat parameter.


am using c.yAxis().setLabelFormat("{value}") to format the Y Axis data labels.

Hi JC,

In ChartDirector number formatting, you can specify the decimal separator as well as the thousand separator.

To use the settings in a CultureInfo object, just use the decimal separator and/or the thousand separator in the CultureInfo object in the ChartDirector format string.

For example, instead of hard coding comma and dot as thousand and decimal separator like as follows:

"{value|,.}"

you may use:

"{value|" & System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat.NumberGroupSeparator & System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat.NumberDecimalSeparator & "}"

Hope this can help.

Regards
