Custom Axis Label Number Format

[TRVRSE]

I'm wondering the best way to achieve this goal.

Goal: Apply a custom number format to the Axis Label Numbers.

The desired Number format is Engineering Notation. For example, suppose the axis labels are showing the numbers [2; 2,000; 2,000,000; 2,000,000,000]. In engineering format, these labels would be [2, 2k, 2M, 2G], or even [2.0, 2.0k, 2.0M, 2.0G]. Is there a format label function I can override? I do not think I can achieve this with the AxisBase.LabelsNumberFormat property.

Thanks!

LabelsNumberFormat accepts standard .net double.ToString() formatting, and this 'k', 'M', 'G', 'T', 'P' etc. isn't supported in it, AFAIK.

The engineering format has to be made with axis.FormatValueLabel event handler. In the handler, you get the actual value, and you can output the value as a string of any format.

Do you know where I can find an example of this? I'm running into the same issue. Thanks!

In our demo application, for example "Business dashboard" (under "Dashboards") uses FormatValueLabel event. Example's class/file name is ExampleBusinessDashboard.

Other examples are ExampleAxisLabelRangeEdit and ExamplePersistentIntensitySignal.
