Syntax
{Literal} {0} [,|.] {0} {Literal}
List of possible tokens
.
Displays the separator for the decimal point. This can depend on the language
setting - see $Sep1 and $Sep2 and the examples for details.
,
Displays the separator for thousands. This can depend on the language setting
- see $Sep1 and $Sep2 and the examples for details.
0
The y-value is taken from the data container (not the label). All decimal
places are displayed.
$Abs
Absolute mode is activated. This means that numbers are displayed as absolute
values: Negative numbers are displayed without the minus sign.
$Abs requires a prefix, for example 0 otherwise no numbers are
displayed at all.
$Chart
This label displays the value of an element of a chart.
For example, if a pie chart is displayed and you specify $Chart1:0.00
then the value of the first piece of the pie chart is displayed to two decimal
places.
$Height
In portfolio graphics, for example, a point may be represented by a block.
This label displays a value for the height of the block.
For example $Height:0.00 displays a label indicating the height of a
block to two decimal places.
$Label
The label is taken from the data container. This is also the default
setting
$Percent
Numbers are displayed as percentages.
Note: This entry only takes effect if the chart type supports percentage
display (pie, stacked columns/bars/lines)
$Sep1 and $Sep2
It is important to understand first that without $Sep1 or
$Sep2 the language setting under Globals can affect the
appearance of the separator for the thousands or decimal point. For example,
if the language is German then a decimal point is displayed as a comma (see
examples).
$Sep1 and $Sep2 deactivate language dependence. In other words,
whether the language settings under Globals is German or English does
not affect the appearance of the separators for thousands and decimals.
$Sep1 specifies that commas and decimal points in numbers are used as
in America and the UK.
$Sep2 specifies that commas and decimal points in numbers are used as
in Germany.
$Size
You use this to display labels indicating size values for points.
For example: In a portfolio chart the point labels should display the size
value to one decimal place.
$Size1:0.0
$TrendX
TrendX, in conjunction with TrendY specifies the direction of
the trend line. $TrendX displays a value for TrendX.
$TrendY
TrendX, in conjunction with TrendY specifies the direction of
the trend line. $TrendX displays a value for TrendX.
$Width
This label displays the width of a point.
$X
You use this to display labels showing x values.
$Y
You use this to display labels showing y values.
“
Text enclosed in quotation marks is displayed as specified, that is, even if
it is by chance the name of a token.
There can be several values of the required type for each point in the data container. This means that the number of the value to be displayed has to be specified after every token (starting with the index 1). This number must be followed by a colon. After that you use the standard rules for formatting.
Examples
-
"Foo"$Label
The resulting text is the concatenation of “Foo” and the label taken from the data container -
0.00
The value is displayed to 2 decimal places. -
- If the value is 2000, language German, format 0.00 then the number displayed is 2000,00
- If the value is 2000, language English, format 0.00 then the number displayed is 2000.00
- If the value is 2000, (language irrelevant), format 0.00$Sep1 then the number displayed is 2000.00
- If the value is 2000, (language irrelevant), format 0.00$Sep2 then the number displayed is 2000,00
-
0.
The value is displayed with no decimal places -
0,
The value is displayed with the separator for thousands -
- If the value is 2000, language German, format 0,00 then the number displayed is 2.000,00
- If the value is 2000, language English, format 0,00 then the number displayed is 2,000.00
- If the value is 2000, (language irrelevant), format 0,00$Sep1 then the number displayed is 2,000.00
- If the value is 2000, (language irrelevant), format 0,00$Sep2 then the number displayed is 2.000,00

-
"x = "$X1:0." / y = "$Y1:0.
In a scatter chart a point in a label displays the x and y values (no decimal places)
-
$Y1:0" - "$Y2:0
In a columns chart with floating blocks both y values are displayed.
-
$TrendX1:0.0
The value for TrendX is displayed for points in a portfolio chart.
(TrendX, in conjunction with TrendY, specifies the direction of the trend line.)

Using LineFormats with LineTypes
A time axis can
have up to three axis lines each with their own Line Type, such as, Century,
Decade or Year. Each line type can have a line format.
For example:
LineType1
Year
LineFormat1
Q YY
This would display a time axis with segments indicating the quarters and years, for example 1 98 for the first quarter in 1998, 2 98 for the second quarter in 1998 and so on.
Make sure that you specify settings that make sense; for example, if the time axis extends over a very long period of time then short units of time such as weeks cannot be displayed.
