setLabelFormat()

[Richard]

What is the format for setLabelFormat("") ?

 

I tried setLabelFormat("0") and my values were replaced with the literal "0".

 

I tried getLabelFormat() to see what the default was and it returned an empty string.

 

I'm guessing "#" ? (or #.##, etc.?) This is stuff that should be in the documentation...

Hi --

 So "#" didn't work either..

Okay, it appears that the "format" of this string format value is the same as the Java Formatter class, more info about which can be found here:

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/data/numberformat.html

 

Again, any kind of note in the documentation as to this would have been super helpful rather than struggling to find this info. This is why I"m posting it here so others don't have the same frustration as I have had.

Hi Richard,

Thanks for writing.
We never thought about adding this info in the docs because the name labelFormat implies a format string which is a very common API in Java.

We will update the online docs just in case.
