Hi, Here are two approaches I've used:
1) Using a DateTimeAxis: If the data representing your dates is in the format that can be easily converted into a Date object (see docs for the Date constructor), your DateTimeAxis will understand the dates implicitly. Otherwise, you need to write a parseFunction (see DateTimeAxis docs) so your data can be converted into a Date object. Then as Tom suggested, use the labelFunction property to specify a function that will return a properly formatted date string ... in the labelFunction use a DateFormatter to print the dates in the UK format ( or just use the Date object's toLocale method). 2) Using a CategoryAxis: Instead of using a DateTimeAxis, consider using a CategoryAxis. This approach is similar, except now you don't need to worry about writing a parseFunction. Just write a labelFunction as described above. The CategoryAxis won't deal with dates as nicely as DateTimeAxis, but it works nicely for fixed date ranges (it wouldn't be so good for doing a "Google Finance" type of chart where you can change time frames of the chart). Check out the docs for the labelFunction and parseFunction properties of the DateTimeAxis (or CategoryAxis). They show the function signature that's required, from there it's easy :) Sunil --- In [email protected], Tom Chiverton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Wednesday 10 Sep 2008, gr33neye501 wrote: > > The data is a collection of Date objects, and is displayed in US > > format.
