I want to format x-axis labels and y-axis labels through script, with my custom java method. Cant figure out where to set the label-value in script.

I see that on script-tab onRender one can code event functions. which one to use ?

I know how to do this in a tables data-item:
this.setDisplayValue(Packages.Utilities.formatToStandardNumber(this.getValue()));

thanks

In a chart, it'd be in the beforeDrawAxisLabel() function in the onRender of the chart. You can set the value of the label with:

label.getCaption().setValue("newValue");

Hope this helps.

thanks Williams, it works, but is it possible to get the label value as an integer? i get the label value as pre-formatted as String...100000 is for exampled returned as 100 000 .

When I try this code my chart disappears.
I tried

function beforeDrawAxisTitle( axis, label, icsc )
{
importPackage(Packages.org.eclipse.birt.chart.model.attribute);

if (axis.getType() == AxisType.LINEAR_LITERAL){ //Y-axis
axis.setTitle("custom title");
}

}
Is there something that I need to do beyond this?

I tried using the beforeGeneration event but get the same results.

I'm using Actuate 11SP3.

I don't believe so. You'll probably have to parse it into an integer on your own.
