1234 --> 1.234

[torsten]

Hi all,
in a bar chart I want to show the y-axis with "thousend-separator", like 1.234.
I use the VerticalCategoryPlot.setLabelFormatString("#,###").
It works fine with the y-axis like:
0 - 1.000 - 2.000 - 3.000 - 4.000...
but it doesnt work vor values with y-axis like:
0 - 500 -1000 - 1500 - 2000 - 2500...

Is this a bug or am I a too stupid? )

Thanks a lot.
torsten.

The x-axis in a bar chart displays categories, not values. JFreeChart thinks of all categories as Objects, and gets the label from the toString() method. There is no formatting...

Hello Dave,
thanks for your response.
I want to display this formatting on the y-axis. I think I wrote this.
I already use VerticalCategoryPlot.setLabelFormatString("#,###") in this and it works, except for value series like 0 - 250 - 500 - 750 - 1000 - 1250 - 1500 - .....

Hope you have a little time agian,
thanks a lot,
torsten.

I think the method you are using, setLabelFormatString, will affect the formatting of value labels for the individual bars. In any case, what you want is to change the format used for the vertical axis tick labels. Check setTickUnit(NumberTickUnit unit) in NumberAxis.
