Formatting value in Meter Chart legend [message #654415] Tue, 15 February 2011 16:34 Go to next message

I have a meter chart and I have specified "Show Value" in the legend. The values in my case are some percentage that I would like to display in the form of nnn.nn%. However I cannot find anyplace in the GUI to specify a format for these values and since the value is computed by the specified aggregation function, I can't format in my own series script and display it as a string.
Can this be done or do I need to just not use this feature and put in some dynamic text under the chart to display the values?

Mike,

Can you put a script in like:

function beforeDrawLegendItem( lerh, bounds, icsc )
{
var curr = lerh.getValueLabel().getCaption().getValue();
importPackage( Packages.java.text );
importPackage( Packages.java.lang );
nf = NumberFormat.getPercentInstance(
icsc.getExternalContext().getScriptable().getLocale() );
nf.setMinimumFractionDigits(2);
str = nf.format( Double.parseDouble(curr)/100 );
lerh.getValueLabel().getCaption().setValue(str);

}

Jason
