Localization

[Brian Schoenhofer]

Does JFreeChart support localization of numbers displayed on the X-Y Axis?
Specifically I need to be able to view charts using $###,###.00 for English and ### ###,00 $ for French.

Thanks.

Hi Brian,

I haven't figured out a good way to do this yet. You'll see a method createStandardTickUnits() in the NumberAxis class (and a similar method in the DateAxis class). The formats are coded in there, but don't take into account localisation...one problem is that I use a different format for different tick sizes, so I can't just grab a localised format from the NumberFormat class.

I'm happy to hear suggestions for an improved approach. One idea I've considered is putting the eleven unique number formats into the resource bundles and reading them from there, that might work...

Regards,

Dave Gilbert
