SetYLabelType

SetYLabelType — Set formatting type for Y tick and data labels

Synopsis

$plot->SetYLabelType($ylt)
    

Description

SetYLabelType sets the formatting type for Y tick and data labels. (Y data labels are only available with bar charts.) By default, there is no special formatting, so the labels are output as-is. Other choices are 'data' and 'time'.

'data' formatting formats the labels as floating point numbers, with thousands-separating commas, and with precision set by SetPrecisionY.

'time' formatting formats the labels as date/time values, using a format specifier set by SetYTimeFormat.

Parameters

$ylt

A string indicating the desired formatting mode: 'data' or 'time'.

Notes

The default formatting mode is to do no special formatting of the labels. Strings will be output as-is, and numbers will be output using PHP's default formatting.

A side effect of SetPrecisionY is to call this function SetYLabelType and set the formatting mode to 'data'.
