Re: [Veusz-discuss] using numeric data for labels
It would be quite easy to write a dataset plugin to do the conversion
from data-text, but automatically allowing such expressions in plotting
widgets would require some work.

Dear All
For the next release, I've added support for non-text datasets as labels.
There isn't any support for how the numbers are formatted, however. It might
be useful to have a number or date to text dataset plugin to do the
conversion, however.

Thanks, that works! The only problem is that the labels don't
automatically update when the dataset it's based on changes, but it's
not a big deal.

I tried to do this by adding an additional x-y plot with hidden
markers and the bar chart length for both the y position and the
labels. However, it seems like you can't use numeric data sets for
labels. I tried some other things, like creating a dataset using
str(y) for the expression, but that fails also. Is there any way to
hack around this?
Hi Joseph,
Your idea about creating a dataset using str(y) is a good one, it just
takes a bit more typing at the veusz console command line. If your
numeric dataset is named 'y', you could create a text label dataset by
SetDataText('y_labels', [ str(v) for v in GetData('y')[0] ])
for example. I hope this helps with your goal!
