dojox/charting/Chart2D : how to format the label of minor tick?

Question

I am using dojo Chart2D to plot a graph having milliseconds values along the X axis. To display the minor tick values I want to convert the milliseconds value to hh:mm:ss:msec format. I can do it easily overriding tickFormat() method in D3. But I am stuck here with Chart2D.

Answer 1

While adding the axis to the chart, we can use the attribute "labelFunc" which should be function taking 3 arguments:

1) text is the already pre-formatted text. Pre-formatting is done using dojo/number is available, Date.toFixed otherwise.

2) value is the raw axis value.

3) precision is the requested precision to be applied. and returns the label. eg:

chart.addAxis("x", {
    ...,
    labelFunc: function(text, value, precision) {
        return "axisLabel";
    }
});
