Tick unit formatting on range axis

[Kenny Dubuisson]

I have an area XY chart that I would like to format the ticks for. I've figured out how to set my minimum (-50) and my maximum (0) but I've not figured out how to force it to do two other things. What I want is 1) tick unit spacing every 5 integers (meaning 0, -5, -10, etc.) and I want to add a percent sign to the end of the tick label (meaning 0%, -5%, etc.).

Has anyone done this (or Dave could you point me in the right direction)? Thanks,
Kenny

You can manually set a tick unit using the setTickUnit(...) method in the NumberAxis class (there is a similar method in the DateAxis class). You need to create an instance of NumberTickUnit, and it can incorporate any NumberFormat object (including one that formats as percentages).

Dave:

That makes sense (I read about it in the documentation) but I wasn't able to get it to work. Could you possibly post some example code?

As always, thanks for your help. If you ever need a reference for your JFreeChart library, just send me an email. I can't tell you how much we are incorporating all our new web site stuff around it. I wish I could let you see the site but it is a closed site only available to our reps across the US and due to SEC compliance issues we are not able to grant general access to it.

Thanks again,
Kenny
