  Formatting yAxis Labels
Posted by Chris on Dec-07-2010 23:39
Hi there,

i got an XYChart where the values rango from 0 to 6000000000. Because of that,
ChartDirector takes very much spaces just for die label of the yAxis (it displays all the
nine 0's). Is there any way that it instead just displays a shorter version?
Or am I able to separate the use yAxis-data from the displayed yAxis-labels like the xAxis
does?

Thank you,
Chris

Hi Chris,

You may use Axis.setLabelFormat to configure the label format. For example, in VB/VBScript:

'Use at most 5 digits. If more digits are required, switch to scientific formatting.
Call c.yAxis().setLabelFormat("{value|G5}")

or

'Display in M units
Call c.yAxis().setLabelFormat("{={value}/1000000}M")

Hope this can help.
