Change axis values to string

lebtho · Post by **lebtho** » Thu Aug 24, 2006 12:26 pm

Hello, is it possible to change the axis values in own definded string values?
For example convert y value 1 to own defined String1 y value 2 to own definded String2 and so on?

Yes, another developer wrote the SymbolAxis class for that very purpose.

I did the same thing overriding the numbertickunit.

Basically override the "valueToString(double d)" function in there and have it output the string you are looking for.

Then I create a new TickUnits object and load it up with the new NumberTickUnit that I created for the values I want displayed and then set that TickUnits object to the TickUnits on the axis (Range in my case) that I want those for.

My code examples will probably not fit you, as my valueToStrings are received from another object I already have.

Seems to work just fine.
