I've recently upgraded from Eclipse 3.4 to 3.6.2. I'm using the BIRT chart engine standalone in some SWT code I have. I have several bar charts that prior to upgrading showed the numeric values of the data along the x-axis (with type AxisType.LINEAR_LITERAL). After upgrading, all these charts are showing a character (or set of characters) instead of a number. Example...1 would show as N, and higher numbers would show as something like NLMM, etc. The data being charted is simple integer values for both x/y values (think of a size/frequency distribution chart). Both data sets are NumberDataSet instances.
Has something in the API changed? What should I be looking at to fix this?

Can you post the code?

Any chance you could try with doubles instead of longs? I think the
NumberDataSet processing only supports the following:
if ( iDataType == IConstants.NUMERICAL )
{
if ( oContent instanceof Collection )
{
iContentType = IConstants.COLLECTION;
co = (Collection) oContent;
}
else if ( oContent instanceof double[] )
{
iContentType = IConstants.PRIMITIVE_ARRAY;
da = (double[]) oContent;
}
else if ( oContent instanceof Double[] )
{
iContentType = IConstants.NON_PRIMITIVE_ARRAY;
dda = (Double[]) oContent;
}
else if ( oContent instanceof BigNumber[])
{
iContentType = IConstants.BIG_NUMBER_PRIMITIVE_ARRAY;
cnda = (BigNumber[])oContent;
}
else if ( oContent instanceof Number[])
{
iContentType = IConstants.NUMBER_PRIMITIVE_ARRAY;
nda = (Number[])oContent;
}
}

Take a look at this example. You should be able to switch the axis type
from LINEAR to TEXT or back and set the cat values to either:
seCategory.setDataSet(categoryValues);
or
seCategory.setDataSet(orthoValues2);

This does appear to be a bug with the SWT device renderer. Can you log
a bug for it?

In BIRT examples InteractiveCharts class change the following method with code below and then run SWTInteractiveCharts , it will work.
protected static final Chart createCBChart( )
{
ChartWithAxes cwaBar = ChartWithAxesImpl.create( );
cwaBar.getBlock( ).setBackground( ColorDefinitionImpl.WHITE( ) );
cwaBar.getTitle( )
.getLabel( )
.getCaption( )
.setValue( "Click \"Items\" to Call Back" ); //$NON-NLS-1$
cwaBar.setUnitSpacing( 20 );
Legend lg = cwaBar.getLegend( );
LineAttributes lia = lg.getOutline( );
lg.getText( ).getFont( ).setSize( 16 );
lia.setStyle( LineStyle.SOLID_LITERAL );
lg.getInsets( ).set( 10, 5, 0, 0 );
lg.getOutline( ).setVisible( false );
lg.setAnchor( Anchor.NORTH_LITERAL );
lg.setItemType( LegendItemType.CATEGORIES_LITERAL );
// X-Axis
Axis xAxisPrimary = cwaBar.getPrimaryBaseAxes( )[0];
xAxisPrimary.setType( AxisType.TEXT_LITERAL );
xAxisPrimary.getMajorGrid( ).setTickStyle( TickStyle.BELOW_LITERAL );
xAxisPrimary.getOrigin( ).setType( IntersectionType.VALUE_LITERAL );
xAxisPrimary.getTitle( ).setVisible( true );
// Y-Axis
Axis yAxisPrimary = cwaBar.getPrimaryOrthogonalAxis( xAxisPrimary );
yAxisPrimary.getMajorGrid( ).setTickStyle( TickStyle.LEFT_LITERAL );
yAxisPrimary.setType( AxisType.LINEAR_LITERAL );
// yAxisPrimary.getLabel( ).getCaption( ).getFont( ).setRotation( 90 );
// Data Set
TextDataSet categoryValues = TextDataSetImpl.create( new String[]{
"Item 1", "Item 2", "Item 3"} ); //$NON-NLS-1$ //$NON-NLS-2$ //$NON-NLS-3$
NumberDataSet orthoValues = NumberDataSetImpl.create( new double[]{
25, 35, 15
} );
// X-Series
Series seCategory = SeriesImpl.create( );
seCategory.setDataSet( categoryValues );
SeriesDefinition sdX = SeriesDefinitionImpl.create( );
sdX.getSeriesPalette( ).shift( 0 );
xAxisPrimary.getSeriesDefinitions( ).add( sdX );
sdX.getSeries( ).add( seCategory );
// Y-Series
BarSeries bs = (BarSeries) BarSeriesImpl.create( );
bs.setDataSet( orthoValues );
bs.setRiserOutline( null );
bs.setSeriesIdentifier( "Callback" ); //$NON-NLS-1$
bs.getLabel( ).setVisible( true );
bs.setLabelPosition( Position.INSIDE_LITERAL );
bs.getTriggers( )
