expression for X-AXIS label [message #143061]

I'd like to know if there is a possibility to use expression to define
value of X-AXIS label.

For example my Category X (Series)is row["MonthNumber"] and because of
that
X-AXIS labels show numbers that represent months. I need that X-AXIS
labels show name of month not number representing month.
To reach that goal I would use expression: months[row["MonthNumber"]]
where months is just array holding relevant names.
Can I do that?
It seems that the Birt doesn't support this functionality.

Try using scripting to change the x axis label. You can write some
javascript to convert the number to a month.

Thanks,

David

I have tried to put javascript: months[row["MonthNumber"]] inside X-axis
section and in Title box,
but label on x-axis still present values defined in Categories(X) series:
row["MonthNumber"].
Where exactly can I put javascript to define values of x-axis labels
independently from values defined in Categories(X) series?

Thanks,
Vladimir

What I meant is to use the scripting. Click on the chart, then click on the
script tab. There you can override the function you want and modify the X
label based on its original value. There are some scripting examples in the
org.eclipse.birt.chart.examples plugin.

Thanks,

David
