Use scripting to modify chart title and legend

anir

Hi,

I have a chart which I am building from a data cube. This data cube has one group (dimension having sub-dimensions) as year->quarter->month. Now when I place the month in the category axis of the chart, it comes as digits in the chart axis display. I am trying to print this month along with the year in the chart axis as Dec_2008, Jan_2009 etc. And I am unable to do this.

My dimension is created from a Date filed (basically splitting it to get year, quarter and month information as subgroups).

If this sounds confusing, please leave a comment, and I will try to make the problem statment better.

I am using birt 2.5.1.

Thanks,

JasonW

Can you not use a script similar to this:

function beforeDrawAxisLabel( axis, label, context )
{
importPackage(Packages.org.eclipse.birt.chart.model.attribute);

//LINEAR_LITERAL
//LOGARITHMIC_LITERAL
//TEXT_LITERAL
//DATE_TIME_LITERAL
if (axis.getType() == AxisType.TEXT_LITERAL)
{
value = label.getCaption().getValue();
if( value == 1 ){
label.getCaption().setValue("January");
}....
}
}
