Chart Format Properties
Charts contains a collection of format properties which you can use to determine the format of a Label. The behaviour depends on the format specified and the available properties depend on the type of chart chosen.
Examples:
BarChart.axes_label_format = "%e"
BarChart.leftAxis_label_format = "%e"
BarChart.rightAxis_label_format = "%e"
LineChart.topAxis_label_format = "%e"
LineChart.Chart_label_format = "%e"
LineChart.BottomAxis_label_format = "%e"
Where "%e" is a valid format.
String formats:
|
%% |
a percent sign |
|
%c |
a character with the given number |
|
%d |
a signed integer, in decimal |
|
%u |
an unsigned integer, in decimal |
|
%o |
an unsigned integer, in octal |
|
%x |
an unsigned integer, in hexadecimal |
|
%e |
a floating-point number, in scientific notation |
|
%f |
a floating-point number, in fixed decimal notation |
|
%g |
a floating-point number, in %e or %f notation |
|
%X |
like %x, but using upper-case letters |
|
%E |
like %e, but using an upper-case "E" |
|
%G |
like %g, but with an upper-case "E" (if applicable) |
|
%b |
an unsigned integer, in binary |
|
%B |
like %b, but using an upper-case "B" with the # flag |
|
%n |
special: stores the number of characters output so far into the next variable in the parameter list |
|
Text%s |
Displays the text in addition to the original value |
 |
Note: If the chosen format adds characters, it replaces the label unless you add a place holder for the original string (%s) |
Example 1:
"%%" - This displays the character "%". To include the original value you need a place holder; that is, "%s %% " displays "<string value> %".
Example 2:
"Test" prints "Test" overwriting the original value
"Test%s" prints "Test<string value>"
