<H3><A NAME="7_1_12">7.1.12 Specifying text labels for the X-axis</A></H3>
|
|
|
29 |
<P> You might want to have specific labels you want to use for the
|
|
|
30 |
X-axis when this has been specified as a "text" scale. In the previous
|
|
|
31 |
example each Y-point might represent a specific measurement for each of
|
|
|
32 |
the first 10 month. We might then want to display the name of the
|
|
|
33 |
months as X-scale.</P>
|
|
|
34 |
<P> To specify the labels on the scale you make use of the <A href="../ref/Axis.html#_AXIS_SETTICKLABELS">
|
|
|
35 |
SetTickLabels()</A> method.</P>
|
|
|
36 |
<P> To get a localized version of the name of the month you can use a
|
|
|
37 |
nice feature in JpGraph, the global '$gDateLocal' object which is an
|
|
|
38 |
instance of the <A href="../ref/DateLocale.html#_C_DATELOCALE">
|
|
|
39 |
DateLocale</A></P>
|
|
|
40 |
<P> This class has a number of methods to get localized versions of
|
|
|
41 |
relevant names for dates, (months and weekdays).</P>
|
|
|
42 |
<P> So to specify the X-axis with the short form of the month names we
|
|
|
43 |
use the construction<DIV class="phpscript"><CODE><FONT color="#000000">
